I'm curious why none of the sites publishing Apple's response have called out the obvious bullshit in their statement. "alters the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality" "The Google Voice application replaces Apple’s Visual Voicemail [snip]... disabling Apple’s Visual Voicemail. Similarly, SMS text messages are managed through the Google hub, replacing the iPhone’s text messaging feature" Google Voice does NOT replace or disable anything on the iPhone, it simply offers users the choice of an alternative service. Choice is good. For my money, the reason Apple are preventing apps that would challenge AT&T or potentially strain their network is to ensure the iPhone remains an attractive prospect for teleco's for when AT&T's current deal expires.
