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!

If you think the Apple App Store is taking all the heat for its controversial manner of approving submitted iPhone apps then guess again. Palm’s App Catalog made it first official app rejection by thumbing down the NaNplayer, a music player app.

Apparently the folks over at the App Catalog camp found some inconsistencies for the NaNplayer and this was traced to the undocumented use of a webOS API call. The said app was using the same API the built-in music player uses to index files so it could make playlists.

Last week we let you know that the Sex Offender Locator app was made available on the App Store. Today, however we were notified that Apple has officially taken the app off the store.

We don’t have official confirmation as to why the app was pulled but TechCrunch lets us know that in California it is illegal to sell one’s personal information for profit, sex offender or not. Regardless, rumors are circulating that the app’s developers plan on sueing Apple over the whole thing.

We’ll keep you updated as this story unfolds.
