Apple Lifts the Curtain on App Store Approvals

Apple?s letter said that "contrary to published reports, Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it." Google?s telephony application, along with several third-party applications that made use of Google Voice, were rejected or not included in the App Store because they interfere with the iPhone?s "core mobile telephone functionality" " specifically, the visual voicemail feature of the device that allows iPhone owners to select which messages they want to listen to or delete.

The company also said the Google Voice application disrupted the iPhone?s text-messaging feature and address book. "These factors present several new issues and questions to us that we are still pondering at this time," the company said in a release.

Privacy concerns? BS. Previously, only Apple fans used Apple products. Now that Apple has reached mainstream, now users are realizing what a manipulative company they are.

And ATTWS is trying to distance itself from this story saying it had nothing to do with this stupid decision.

Typical behavior in front of the regulator when sleazy firms get caught red handed.

ATT has something to protect Apple doesn't.....LICENSES.....FCC LICENSES.

Whether corporate America likes it or not, the airwaves still belong to the PUBLIC....who grant them use of it through the licensing process, and can recind that license for a host of reasons.

Unfortunately, arrogance isn't one of the reasons....................yet.

When you say "public", you really mean bureaucrats and corrupt politicians, don't you?

Then there's DOJ....

FCC regulates anything that transmits and they do have a heavy hammer in that regard.

GOVERNMENT.

For whoever pays the most money.

But don't. Money trumps the public interest.

That would be YOU and I

Define public interest. What is good for you maybe bad for me, so please explicitly define the public interest.

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
