I keep waiting for this much-hyped anti-Apple backlash to materialize, but there seems to be a distinct lack of outrage outside the rarefied world of the blogs. The only people I know who even have Google Voice (closed beta) are exactly the ones the original poster was talking about. It was AT&T, not Apple, who disallowed Skype. Tethering, again, really? You really think >5% of iPhone owners even know what that means? As long as Apple dominates the market with one platform there will be people lining up to write apps. And you want one reason why Apple is dominating? The apps have QC.
