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.

Interesting ... I didn't know the Iphone was availibe pay as you go.
Do you think it would work to buy it, swap in my att sim card? I might consider the iphone, if I wasn't forced to pay for the data plan. My regular att cell plan is fine.
Also, anyone know if you can block the data service so it will only ever use wifi?

I use an iPhone, and I need Google Voice. I got the iPhone unlocked, using AT&T's "pay as you go" service. I don't have a contract because I don't need it (I use the cell network very little, I mostly use landlines). I use the iPhone because I love its UI, it has the most usable UI than any other smartphone.
So both iPhone and Google Voice are not mutually exclusive.
