Has Apple's App Store censorship gone too far?

[CyberInferno]

Well-known blogger Michael Arrington has quit using his iPhone (http://gizmodo.com/5327170/google-voice-debacle-causes-arrington-to-ditch-the-iphone-and-with-good-reason) after Apple banned the Google Voice application (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10297618-37.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20). In fact, the FCC has launched an investigation (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/07/31/fcc_investigates_apple_att_for_goog le_voice_app_rejection.html). Apple has attempted to explain its approval procedure (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10304983-37.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20). Meanwhile, Google will fight back by creating a web application that Apple can't block (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10305716-37.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20).

you're fucking witty...

that's the best way i could phrase in my state of mind last night.
google works not exclusively for profit but in my opinion works on projects to better the current age.
pieces of shit like microsoft, facebook, apple all try to shut down their free projects claiming "monopoly" or whatever just because they are greedy.

google works not exclusively for profit

naive

They are a publicly traded for profit corporation

[billyboatkid]

Apple can lick my ball sack.

That being said, I love my iPhone and MacBook.

[MyNameIsRoss]

all corporations work exclusively for profit..

and yes it has.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

nope, app store is fantastic.

[maker_break]

I think the iPhone has got to be one of the most hyped and overrated products of this decade.

[Dubui_209]

If you haven't, Jailbreak your iTouch.

[zachff]

Yes

If you haven't, Jailbreak your iTouch.
and there's no such product as an iTouch

[Dubui_209]

What do they call it? An iPod Touch? Either way I don't get all the hate everyone is giving them. I love mine
