GV Mobile and Voice Central pulled from App Store

So Apple is saying that all there user are dumb and stupid and get confused all the time and can't understand one thing or another or one APP from another

so that's what they should advertise , "If your to stupid Buy a MAC or IPHONE or ....) "

or " we charge more money for our stuff since stupid cant understand it"

Then it makes you wonder if GV would go to Cydia...

I wrote a blistering post to Apple here in case anybody needs to see more venting!

Apple + AT&T is anti-competitive, and they shouldn't be blocking this app. Just to be sure, the competition seems to be for long-distance minutes. With GV, we pay google. Without GV, you pay AT&T.

Well I would be a lot more upset of Google Voice actually worked. I have two accounts neither work. Neither forward phone calls neither direct calls to custom greetings. I would love to have apps to control GV if I could control it at all.

Apple has contracts with the carriers that limit their abilities. I ust can't beilieve that google can't get its sh*t together on GV.

According to Lifehacker, GV Mobile is available for free in Cydia.

Imagine if in the early days computer companies restricted the use of third-party applications that didn't complement their business plans. Oh wait, wasn't that the case with Office and even Mac OS? So why are we surprised. We remain but lowly consumers in the eyes of the information and telecom business owners and shareholders. Ours but to do or buy.

Someday there will be a genuinely open market for products, but probably not in our lifetimes or those of our children or our children's. Once a firm is in a powerful position, restricting choice, not facilitating it, is what business becomes all about. All the suger-coating and bling doesn't change a thing.

Google - I hope you see this!

Please consider open sourcing your code and allow some bright developer to recompile it and issue it via Cydia.

This is ridiculous and it infringes on my right to use the device I paid dearly for (and continue to). What's more, I-like many others I imagine-have no interest in evading tolls and will route my call through my cell phone, just to a different number.

Please release the sucker!

I hope Apple is reading this: WE WANT NATIVE APPS FOR GOOGLE SERVICES. Gmail via Mail.app or the Safari web interface is not the same thing. want threaded conversations, starred apps, and archiving. I want full access to my labels, and integrated search, and I want it offline too. I want Google Voice as a direct alternative - GV Mobile is good, but I expect the 'official' Version to be even better. There's no confusion with the Apple apps or functionality- they are fine, but I want the real, no-kidding Google versions. I can tell the difference. Some come with the phone and can't ever be removed (but can be banished to a back page on the home screen) and some have to be sought out from the App store and downloaded. No confusion there. These are for power users of Gmail and Google voice - the folks least likely to be confused, and the most likely to be pissed off at Apple for preventing this.

Using Google apps through Safari would be just fine if Apple didn't restrict Safari as it does. The problem is that Safari doesn't adequately cache page content among pages and between sessions. All you have to do is load up more than one Web page, and it's completely hit-or-miss if the content in your pages remain intact. More often than not, Safari forces a page reload which, in most cases, is completely unnecessary. This has been an issue from day one.

As an iPod Touch user, offline access is absolutely essential, but Safari's horrible cache management forces me to turn to AppStore applications over Web apps in most cases.
