There seems to be news every day about the newly seeded firmware 2.2 for the iPhone. Yesterday it was the Google’s Street View feature, today it’s the option to rate an application when deleting it.

Recently a Greek Language website, iPhone Hellas, reported that in the new firmware version 2.2 a user is now given an application rating screen when they delete an application. After pressing the little “X” to delete an application a “Please rate before deleting” box pops up with a 5 star rating option and a “No Thanks” button.

With all the changes to the rating system to make it fair on the developers, this suggests to us that Apple is not happy with the amount of rating they are receiving at this time. We do not think that this method will accurately depict the applications worth as most people will either hit 1 star because they did not like it or just randomly select a rating just to bypass the screen. At any rate there does not seem to be any happy medium with the application rating system.
