Ifbyphone promises "voice broadcast" app in the App Store
Well this is interesting -- apparently a company called Ifbyphone has announced that they will be releasing a "Voice Broadcast" app through the iPhone's App Store in June. The application will apparently let you "transmit" voice messages to multiple recipients, like sending a voice memo out to multiple people at a time.The actual app isn't very impressive -- apparently a subscription will be required to use the service, and who knows how it works -- but the repercussions for the App Store might be interesting. What if someone releases a VOIP app through Apple's official store? What would AT&T have to say about that?
We still, even a week before WWDC, have no real idea exactly how the store is going to work and how a company or private developer will be able to get their programs on Apple's official listing, but it's conceivable that if a developer drops functionality that intersects with Apple or AT&T's profitability we could have a problem here. We'll have to watch and see if Ifbyphone's app shows up with all the functionality they claim.
