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."

    Why on earth geeks continue to view Apple as a Good Company boggles my mind.

    Really? Is it that confusing? Apple make great hardware and software. The iPhone is an amazing device, they make great laptops, Mac OSX is a great os, the ipod touch is ridiculously useful (replaced a laptop on my last trip overseas).
