We Love This Stuff Too, and Honor What You Do

3.1 Apps or metadata that mentions the name of any other mobile platform will be rejected
Update (2015-01-10): Tyler Hall:
My iOS app was rejected because I linked to an FAQ which had a header which linked to my site which had a non-MAS OS X App.
Update (2016-04-20): Avatron:
Air Display 3 Upgrade submission rejected AGAIN for “mentioning third-party platforms.” This said, “Only compatible with Mac-based hosts.”

This is weak sauce. I demand that all books that mention the Amazon river, androids, or the number google be removed from iBooks. Only then will the AppStoreMonster be able to maintain the purity and essence of our natural... fluids.
i particularly enjoy how if you use the word 'Google' in an app description, iTunes Connect warns you that it is A Bad Word and may get you into trouble. Must be fun for, eg, Google.
