That pesky Google (vs AT&T and Apple)
Is Google Voice a Threat to AT&T?
Excerpt:
In short, what Apple and AT&T have accomplished with their heavy-handed, Soviet information-control style is not to bury these useful apps. Instead, Apple/AT&T have elevated them to martyr status—and, in effect, thrown down a worldwide challenge to programmers everywhere.
"Get around THIS," they're saying.
But guess what? It won't take long. They've put a rock in the river, but the water will just find a way around it.
Already, Google says it is readying a replacement for the Google Voice app that will offer exactly the same features as the rejected app—except that it will take the form of a specialized, iPhone-shaped Web page. For all intents and purposes, it will behave exactly the same as the app would have; you can even install it as an icon on your Home screen.
What's Apple going to do now? Start blocking access to individual Web sites?
