> I'm not sure I get the complaint. It's Apple's operating system, it's never been free software, and clearly they're going to exert some control over what apps get installed. That's clearly within Apple's power and rights to do, and it doesn't hurt anyone but competing app vendors who want to use Apple's (!) operating system. No, it's the user's phone, and clearly _they_ should exert control over what apps get installed. After sale, what gives apple the moral right to tell the owner of the device that they can't install google voice? On the other hand, the APIs gvoice exposes run on Google's hardware, using their resources, and their trunk lines. Google has every right to limit use of their equipment.
