I haven't used Über, but the idea is exactly the same and the apps are very much alike. I live in Madrid, which is one of the cities where Cabify operates. I've used their service a couple of times and I can only recommend it. Looks like a good place to work and Mark Villa Camp, the guy mentioned in the article is a well known name in the Spanish tech scene.
Is Cabify a copycat? Whatever, is a well executed idea and I wish they succeed.

That is a (mis)perception most people have (myself included) regarding career development. Professionals follow the path of the higher salary.
For me, the path can be something like this: South America < PIGS < France/Germany/UK < Rest of The USA < SV/NYC
That being said, there's also people who give more value to quality of life. The place that work for in Spain have several people from The US, Sweden and UK, even though they could be making more money back in their countries.

Seems to be already removed, at least that's what I see from Europe with a U.S. account.
Remember that whatever amount of money is this publisher making, Apple is taking a 30%. Maybe they don't put too much effort on their side on purpose, just saying.

This looks very promising, but are there any examples of real applications written with RubyMotion and submitted to the AppStore? Everything I see is just stand-alone examples, but can all the pieces be glued together and turn into a functional app?
And second, maybe this is a dumb question, but is there any possibility that Apple blocks apps submitted using third party tools like this?

They own the DUCK.CO domain, but use it as a community forum. I think they should use that one as a shortcut to their main product, but probably they don't want to cause confusion.
The funny thing is that the registrant of DUCK.COM appears to be Google when you do a whois lookup:
