Thus far Apple has refused to approve the Google Voice App for the iPhone telling U.S. regulators that it  ”interferes with the iPhone “user experience.”

Sounds like a rejection… although one’s hard pressed to know exactly what they meant by the iPhone User Experience. Hopefully Apple will go into a deeper explanation, as this one leaves one scratching the head.

In many ways, it’s a priceless quote, and we intend to jot it down for future reference in our own little arsenal of auto-response business deflections.

Meanwhile, Google Voice reigns as a Voice Mail and Online Messaging System supreme.

It can transcribe all messages and then forward the text to any email account you wish. Simultaneously, it will route calls to as many different phones as you wish, each routing having indivually customizable with different rings and features.

Amazing, really.

Apple has approved Skype, a  VoIP app (Voice over Internet Protocol) but perhaps they see something more competitive and “threatening” in Google’s entry. 

One can understand – Google voice is set to rule the voice mail stage with Google Voice which provides free local telephone numbers sto every subscriber. Also, Google’s T-Mobile Android phone is a direct major competitor to Apple’s AT&T iPhone.

You have to love Google’s application to Apple… so smartly humble yet so ballsy… one giant’s friendly acknowledgement and app submission to another.

Google Voice could become one of the most useful and beloved apps of all.

As Apple says, they are “continuing to study it,” trying to measure the pros and cons to their business model. It will be interesting to see what the US regulators say.
  
As for users, nothing could be better than to have Google Voice en iPhone.
