Techcrunch have some interesting contradictions to Apple's Response to the FCC the question here is, was apple lying about everything? Are they worry that Google will take over the iPhone?
Yesterday Apple mention in their statement that they never really rejected Google Voice application but Techcrunch saids that apple is lying.
According to Techcrunch, many sources disclose to them in July that Phil Schiller Apple's SVP said that Google Voice app was or was going to be rejected. Google also confirm this to them later on. So who is lying here?
Apple also went into details explaining that Google Voice alter the iPhone's distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone's core mobile telephone functionality and the user interface with its own interface for calls, text, and voicemail.
But according to Techcrunch Google Voice app in no way replaces Apple's voicemail function or in any way interfere with the iphone text messaging feature.
There are strong evidence that Apple is lying and they really did rejected the application according to Techcrunch sources.
So what do you think Google will do or say about this on their statement to the FCC?
I can not wait to see what will happen!

Earlier today Apple was suppose to state the reasons of the rejection of Google Voice App to the US Federal Communications Commission. Apple just published their response to the Federal Communications Commission on the news section at apple.com.
They started off by giving information about the apple store and the iPhone. They stated that the apple store offers over 65,000 applications and customers have downloaded over 1.5 million applications since the apple store open more than a year ago. Apple also includes that "apple has also fostered competition as other companies (e.g., Nokia, Microsoft, RIM, Palm and Verizon) seek to develop their own mobile platforms and launch their own application stores". They also talk about the reviewing process where apple reviews every application submitted to the apple store in order to "protect consumer privacy, safeguard children from inappropriate content, and avoid applications that degrade the core experience of the iPhone". According to apple 95% of the applications submitted are approved withing 14 days of their submission.
Apple has answer six questions in hope to clear out all misunderstandings.
To answer the question why the Google voice application was rejected to the apple store this is what apple said about it:
"Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it. The application has not been approved because, as submitted for review, it appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail"
To answer the question of whether or not AT&T had anything to do with the rejection of Google Voice app this is what apple said:
"Apple is acting alone and has not consulted with AT&T about whether or not to approve the Google Voice application. No contractual conditions or non-contractual understandings with AT&T have been a factor in Apple’s decision-making process in this matter".
AT&T as nothing to do with apple approving or rejecting applications, apple is the one that gives the final decision.
Apple gave some interesting response to question 6 about the review and approval process. According to apple they have more then 40-full time trained reviewers, at least two different reviewers study the application so the approval can be evenly. More than 65,000 applications and only more than 40-full time reviewers i don't know but i think apple should get more trained reviewers. No wonder why some applications take really long to be approved.

According to USA Today, Apple AT&T and Google are suppose to state the reasons to the US Federal Communications Commission why Google's free voice application (Google Voice) was rejected from the Apple store.
Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T) Friday are expected to tell the Federal Communications Commission why Google's free voice application, called Google Voice, is banned from the Apple iPhone. Google is also filing comments.
Moreover, the report also states that Google may also be facing problems in which handsets with the company's mobile operating system for wireless devices can not use Voice Over Protocol service (VoIP) from skype.
Why: Consumers who use Android, the Google-developed operating system for wireless devices, can't use Skype, a leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. A pioneer in free Internet calling, Skype allows you to talk as long as you want without draining cellphone minutes.
Android users get Skype Lite, a watered-down version of the original that routes calls over traditional phone networks — not the Internet. As a result, long-distance calls are still cheap or free, but cellphone minutes are gobbled up every time a Skype Lite call is made.

Since T-Mobile now is blocking all sidekick data plans for the iPhone many users have to switch their plans to get internet on their device. Many of those users are not really happy with T-Mobile. Me my self change my sidekick data plan, i had it for almost 2 years already :( to the $34.99 one stupid me :) so i could of get a little bit of internet on my iPhone.
But according to Limited Edition iPhone, they are trying to gather information from all the sidekick data plan users so they can build an application to make the device work. If you have information that can help head over to their page and let them know.
According to them the name of this new application will be "p1nksn0w". Pink because that's the official color of the T-Mobile logo.
They had a temporal solution to solve the problem with the sidekick data plan using a VPN that served as a proxy for iPhone users, but T-Mobile soon catch this and it does not work anymore
The T-Mobile's sidekicks are using some type of proxy and a port, and that is what this people are looking for. If they can get the proxy and the port, they can implement an easy to install application via cydia to help everyone out here in the US.
They are asking everyone to post links all over the internet to spread out the word. Hopefully they will come out with a solution to this soon. Please help out!
