Re: What is this, the iPhone blog?

With the iPhone, AT&T has the power (through Apple) to ban anyone without a jailbreak from using an app that it feels might compete with its cellphone service. That all the previous VoIP apps for iPhone never managed to get in the store isn't a coincidence.

The BlackBerry doesn't have these sort of problems, other than the microphone API being depreciated for questionable reasons.

So, this isn't particularly over-iPhone-centric since, unlike other platforms, this is actually something special. Which is extremely lame.
