For what it’s worth, Apple has made an official statement regarding the much celebrated issue concerning the rejection of the Google Voice for the iPhone. Well actually they are denying the claims og Google Inc. that that the app has been rejected. In fact, Apple is still in the process of studying the Google Voice app. They are making sure that it doesn’t replace the core mobile telephone functionality of the iPhone.

As you may probably know, the FCC has stepped in to get to the bottom of the issue. From the looks of it, nothing has been resolved and negotiations are still being done. Now why would Google make such a declarative statement if Apple is indeed still studying the app. Someone is lying here!
