“Bet you wished you never did that.”
“Bet you wished you never did that.” If I worked in Google, that is what I would be saying to the people at Apple/AT&T right now. After rejecting the Google Voice App last Thursday (see here), someone got mad and decided to call up our good friend: the FCC. The FCC responded by launching an investigation last night to find out what happen and sent letters to all three companies (Apple, AT&T, and Google). Now this is interesting. Of all cases, why did the FCC get involved with this one? iPhone apps are rejected everyday for the same “reason” – duplicating features already on the phone. But the Google Voice App rejection caused a much bigger turmoil. The FCC saw this and decided that they could use it to push a bigger policy agenda. As it turns out, their investigation is not just about the rejection of a single app; it’s the FCC’s way of forcing providers to open up cell phone networks to be as uncontrolled as the Internet. As of the time of this posting, AT&T has told the FCC that they allow any app/phone on their network. This would mean that it is Apple who rejected the GV App. When we hear back from Apple we will find out if they were pushed to reject the GV App by AT&T or not. More info is available here. original posting was found here: Codehttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77674 |

Re: “Bet you wished you never did that”
and they are doing the same with the palm pre and the iphone...... palm keeps making it so it can sync to itunes and than apple reverses that... jsut cat and mouse.... all these copywrite excuses apple has thrown out of the past couple years are getting really old.... its like they think they own all cell phone patents and that no one can do or come close to doing what they have done already... tell me they didnt take any ideas from either palm or windows mobile when they were made.
