Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone
molnarcs writes "Apple pulls Google Voice-enabled applications from its App Store, citing duplication of functionality. The move affects both Google's official Google Voice and third party apps like Voice Central. Sean Kovacs, main developer of GV Mobile, says that he had personal approval for his app from Phil Shiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, last April. TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid suspects AT&T behind the move."
Is it coming to Cydia or are you saying it is already there, because I cannot find it when I search? Also the repository appulo.us doesn't exist. I just created my Google phone number a few days ago and I was wondering when I could use it on my iPhone. This is really, really messed up of Apple/ATT. I am really sick of them making the most retarded decisions regarding what applications I can install on MY device (thank God for Cydia).
Really though, this should be added to Cydia and thrown up on torrents for everyone to download and install (if you jailbroke). Does anyone have a copy of the Google Voice Apps that they can share for everyone on a torrent somewhere?
OK, I found it.
Right now, only the 3rd party Application GV Mobile is available on Cydia. Download away and thumb your nose at ATT.
Well put sir, well put. Constant nerd will-waving about what tickbox such-and-such device has over another (not just iPhone and suchlike) is as tiresome as it is pointless. Canada has mountains. So does the moon. The moon is bigger than Canada. Therefore the moon is a better place to live than Canada. (OK, well, I spent only some time in Calgary...)
Smokey, this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.
