Apple vs. Google, Who Will Control the iPhone?

Pieroxy writes "Theiphoneblog carries a nice article on the reason Apple rejected the Google Voice application even though it doesn't violate any terms and services. The article goes in depth over the issue of controlling the hardware (Apple) vs. controlling the software (Google & Apple so far) and how Apple doesn't want Google to take over a critical part of its phone. Just like Google is going into the OS business to make sure it never gets cut out, Apple is also building a huge data center to — they guess — take over some online cloud computing business of their own and be less dependent on Google for these services."

    You are thinking of the it takes nine months to make a baby put 9 women on it. It *DOES NOT WORK*. You end up with product that does to much with too little focus.

    Yeah, but there's one hell of a lucky male in that picture that you forgot to mention ;)

    You forget that Apple users measure performance in cubic centimeters. I'm sure your inspiron slim is huge compared to the mini. :)
