Re: Let 'em all sell it. said by tiger72:Also, Apple won't be able to let ATT or whatever carrier take the heat for its poor app store decisions, bad reception issues, etc. I'm still not 100% convinced that Apple acted on their own here with banning, err, not approving, err, having an extended review period for Google Voice.
Think about it... One of Apple's chief complaints is that Google Voice would mimic one of the core functions of the iPhone (the phone part, of course). How many other apps are in the App Store right now that mimic other core functions of the iPhone?
I can point to a bunch that do SMS texting; that's a core function.
I can point to other audio players that stream Internet radio. That's mimicing the iPod functionality. Heck, Orb goes even one step further by allowing you to stream your whole audio and video collection from your home PC to your iPhone.
I still say that something smells downright rotten about Apple's and AT&T's story surrounding Google Voice.
I'm not saying that Apple doesn't deserve a finger or two pointed squarely at it for poor decisions here; I'm just saying that I find it extremely hard to believe that AT&T is as innocent as they claim to be.
