Apple Answers the FCC’s Questions
Contrary to published reports, Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it....
The following applications also fall into this category.
-
Name: GVDialer / GVDialer Lite...
Name: VoiceCentral..
Name: GV Mobile / GV Mobile Free...
One of the most wretched things about this press release is that none of the complaints Apple had with Google's application (some legitimate) actually applied to GV Mobile and its competitors. Banning them, along with Google Apps like Latitude, was proof that Apple wasn't protecting the user experience, they were in a commerce war with Google.
Since then the FTC has been squeezing Apple, and GV Mobile is back (bit of a botched debut though). I wonder if they pointed out that while Apple might get away with blocking Google Voice, they had gone too far when they blocked GV Mobile. If that's true, I wonder if we'll see other Google related apps appear, like a Google Latitude client that actually works (sorry Latitudie).
PS. Yes, I know the formatting of this post is a mess. Google has outsourced their Blogger rich text editor toMicrosoft Adobe. You have a better explanation? (I wrote Microsoft, but, really, this stuff they do well.)
