Gollygosh, don’t Google and Apple know they’re both on the side of Coolitude?  Don’t they know we love them?  Why are they acting like money-grubbing corporations?  Can’t someone explain to them that there are enough credulous techno-gits to go around, willing to buy whatever they’re told is new and shiny?  Gee whiz, you’d think that once you’ve convinced a bunch of idjits to fork over $400 for a friggin’ plastic telephone, you’d realize that you’ve got a golden goose on your hands and competition becomes irrelevant.  But I guess not.

Earlier today we learned that Apple had begun to pull all Google Voice-enabled applications from the App Store, citing the fact that they “duplicate features that come with the iPhone”. Now comes even worse news: we’ve learned that Apple has blocked Google’s official Google Voice application itself from the App Store. In other words, Google Voice — one of the best things to happen to telephony services in a very long time — will have no presence at all on the App Store. If there’s ever been a time to be furious with Apple, now is it.
