Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone

Posted by kdawson on from the hey-wait-isn't-he-on-our-board dept.

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."

    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...)
