iPhone 4 and iOS 4 craze slowing approvals on Apple iTunes Connect?

I posted an update back on the 10th and it sat for 4 days in Waiting. Thinking it was lost, I Rejected and Resubmitted, and it's still in Waiting another 4 days later. Anyone having similar issues? It is because everyone at Apple is getting ready for the iPhone 4 as well as the OS update? Is it iAds and Game Center? Or perhaps a thousand other users are updating their app for 4.0 compatibility a which brings me to ask, will GS binaries have any 4.0-ready features?

    I didn't think about the OS4 update, but that is probably why my updates are still Waiting For Review

    (I feel old saying the following as it's like a "When I was your age..." saying)

    When I submitted my first game (not a GameSalad game) back in June of 2009 approval times were through the roof. It took over 2 weeks just to get rejected for something silly, and then another 2 weeks to get approval. Heck, many developers would complain of over a month approval times!

    Apple has improved significantly compared to 1 year ago. I wouldn't complain about 4 days, just be glad it's not weeks as it once was.

    (Also, my recent update took 6 days - pretty good considering how many thousands are likely being submitted each day in preparation for iOS4)

    I'm not complaining about the time it's taking the approval or rejection to go through, I'm just agreeing that I noticed it was taking long and correlating that with the new OS release

    If you didnt reject it it would have been on the AppStore right now. Let it wait, at this period it will probably take 7-10 days as apple is very busy worrying about the new iPhone 4. Now that you rejected it it will start the whole process over. Trust me they can't forget about you lol you just have to wait, they'll eventually get back to you. Make more games while you wait for that one to get approved. That's what I do to let time fly.

    my iSUB submission took 6 days.... 5 days waiting, 1 in review.

    I actually uploaded my submission just before the iTunes Connect servers went down for the iOS4 update.

    I was a little worried for a bit, as i figured my app might get caught up in an iOS4 submission rush, but was pleasantly surprised with the 6 day turnaround.
