We’ve seen how everyone responded to the FCC regarding the rejection of Google’s Google Voice from the App Store. And nobody is to blame. AT&T hasn’t done anything wrong and neither did Apple. But how does Apple really approve all those apps?

Well it looks like Apple is receiving about 8,500 apps per week and there are 40 people responsible for checking out every app. And every app has to be reviewed by two people. That means an average Joe-in-charge-of approval will check out over 200 apps per week or over 40 per day. That’s over 5 apps per hour. Oh but wait a minute, each app has to be approved by a second person so that means each Apple employee does over 400 apps per week. Or over 10 apps per hour. Not counting overtime of course!

But for the special apps out there, Apple has an App Store “executive review board” which will deal with apps that present various problems. Such as Google Voice for example.

So if you have an app ready for the app store, you’ll have to know that Apple’s personnel will check your app for buggy software, apps that crash, unauthorized API, privacy violation, inappropriate content and everything that “degrades the core experience for iPhone.”

And if you have any problems with the way Apple is managing its App Store then here’s what Apple could respond to you:

We’re covering new ground and doing things that had never been done before. Many of the issues we face are difficult and new, and while we may make occasional mistakes, we try to learn from them and continually improve.

So what would you say it’s happening right now with Google Voice? Is the special commission still reviewing it?
