Here comes Apple’s response for the FCC regarding Google Voice. And it looks like Apple has not rejected the application just yet as it is still reviewing it before allowing customers to access it. Why is Apple reviewing it? Well it looks like Google Voice has two major issues. And these are:
1. [Google Voice] appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail.
2. The iPhone user’s entire Contacts database is transferred to Google’s servers, and we have yet to obtain any assurances from Google that this data will only be used in appropriate ways. These factors present several new issues and questions to us that we are still pondering at this time.
Well it took Apple and AT&T three weeks to answer so we’re really looking forward to see what FCC and Google have to say about this. What if Google will alter that user interface to resemble more to Apple’s interface? Will the app still be banned under review?
If it makes you feel any better, plenty of other apps have also been banned and you’ll find the complete response by following the link below.

Nice, no wonder Apple didn’t have to contact AT&T before they nuked the Google Voice App.
AT&T’s BS-department said they don’t block websites, but they didn’t say they don’t block apps.
nice,hope Apple prove the Google Voice soon.
