Apple Removes Tris Tetris App from App Store

We’ve long been fans of Tris when it started as a fun jailbroken app which brought a (slightly) new dimension to Tetris by relying on touch to move the pieces around. When the App Store launched shortly after the 3G iPhone debut, Tris was ported over to the new 2.0 firmware and available to download and play, that is until a few days ago.
