The director of Australia’s Classification Board, which assigns content rating to media including video games, has indicated concern to the Commonwealth Censorship Minister that the Board does not currently rate mobile phone games, including iPhone games.
So dont want this to happen 
- the cost would be so bad…
Yeah, if that does happen, I’m afraid AU and NZ iPhone/touch users can say goodbye to most or all iPhone games. I know my sales there aren’t high enough to warrant spending any money or time on ratings.

One day or another, appstore will be forced to be rated by such powerful companies. The app market is too big.
As an Australian, I’m proud to say ‘Good luck with all that’ and simply remove the app from australian stores 
Having had many apps launch well into the top 50 in this country, the sales still represent less than a 10th of US sales.
“Country fail”
Your game must have an age classification anyway since the introduction of the “parental control” with OS 3.0
You don’t have to pay goofies to piss on your shoes one but apple will put it in relation to it anyway (you don’t rate it, then apple does. You rate it too low, well then it will likely be 17+ adult rated afterwards. You offer chat or internet access: good chance for 17+ too)
Actually classification isn’t a bad thing.
The bad thing are the unrealistic prices bound to have the stuff rated as well as the criterias that in some places on the earth are as obvious and accessable as apples rejection criterias.
Realistically, mobile games can’t be put under such classifications anyway, because the common turnarounds to get them is completely out of scale for mobile development where timing is the difference between success and flop
