The google app is now in the App store. The FCC doesn't deal with apps that can be stored on a computer. They just wanted to see if AT&T had anything to do with it. What does FCC mean (Federal Communication Commission), FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing the FCC.[1] Competition here means competition in communications, not applications. In any case, Apple is by no means a monopoly in the cell phone market. Last I looked, RIM, Nokia, and Windows Mobile had more market share than Apple. This doesn’t matter.

Who told you this? :) Can you plz provide the appropriate source. Ironically you are talking about journalism and without a link to a proper source you want ppl to believe what you say... “Google did not, and has not, altered the app to meet guidelines, nor have they claimed to have resolved this issue.” Who told you this? :) Can you plz provide the appropriate source.

For those whining about fanboys, learn to read. Everything thus far presented is not concerning a specific app. Google is just as slippery as Apple or MS when protecting turf. Google did not, and has not, altered the app to meet guidelines, nor have they claimed to have resolved this issue. Those holding onto Google's coattails with apps thought they had it made, after all Apple wouldn't block the great Google, would it, nahhh!!!! Time to wake up. Every other app working in this area of the Google app has had to alter the code and done so. Truephone, Skype, etc., etc. have all known the rules since the beginning as did Google. Yes Apple has been playing tough, don't blame them as everyone crapped on them from the beginning about the iPhone/AppStore, but now that they have a huge global success, everybody wants a piece - Sissies all of them. And let's keep in mind Google has already been caught cheating by employing a custom API previously where they were in violation of the SDK.

Apple says that it has not got any assurance from Google that its data (iPhone phone book details) "will only be used in appropriate ways" Question. Did Apple ask the VoiceCentral team (Riverturn) the same question? Answer . See the response of the Riverturn CEO. He says Apple did not provide any appropriate reasons for App rejection. Why 2 different set of rules for almost similar applications? @all who say that Apple never said that the App was not rejected:

It is all the way you read things.
