The
news just broke that Apple has rejected the official upcoming Google Voice application, and stopped distributing the third party "GV" application, an app that was previously authorized. Read on for a quick commentary, from the point of view of not an Apple or Google fangirl, but from someone who genuinely appreciates VoIP SIP (even if Google Voice itself is not VoIP, read on). For those who have read
my blog over the years, would probably remember my VoIP-related rants since 2005.
UPDATE: A more direct, more personal, reply
from me to Apple and AT&T.

While there's doubtless pressure on Apple from the networks, it's not enough to explain the situation. I can run SIP and Skype (not limited to wifi) on my Windows mobile phone with no problem. I suspect the same is true of Android.
