The saga continues - Google versus Apple

0

Atlanta (IP-192.com): The saga continues – According to The New York Times, Google Voice will soon be available for Apples iPhone as a Web-based app. The phone-management application, which Apple may have rejected under AT&T pressure, will be remade as a stylized Web site that offers everything the rejected app would have.

It is unclear if Apple would reject a repurposed Google Voice application again. Earlier in the year Apple did allow Google to promote Latitude as a Web app after it was rejected from the App Store.

Considering their recent decision has managed to draw attention from angry users and subscribers to the FCC, both AT&T and Apple may think twice before making a final decision on the re-packaged Goggle Voice app.

Web apps can be bookmarked on the iPhone interface and appear like an app purchased from the App Store.

Currently, a text-heavy version of Google Voice can be accessed by pointing Safari to google.com/voice/m.
