Apple Approves BitTorrent App for iPhone and iPod touch!

Apple's app Store has finally approved IS Drive, its first BitTorrent based managing app. The app, was previously known as Jack Torrents and was available via Cydia for jailbroken iOS devices. IS Drive allows users of ImageShack’s torrent service to manage their torrents from an iOS device. Currently, ImageShack is currently a premium service. What makes the approval of IS Drive noteworthy is that in the past Apple simply refused to allow all BitTorrent based apps because, according to Apple, this category of applications are often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights.
The apps official page has this to say:
This app allows you to check and manage the downloads in your ImageShack Drive account. For downloaded videos, you can even view thumbnails (if ImageShack is able to provide them).
IS Drive is available for download at the App store for $4.99.
