#2Though it's probably questionable for Techcrunch to keep posting about the same story, I think Apple's anti-competitive practices deserve the extra notice.

Different story — it had not been previously reported that Google's official app was blocked.

They can't. They don't offer a Google Voice client either. The SDK they have released (that doesn't let you publish apps yet) doesn't appear to be capable of it either. Good marketing material for RIM perhaps.

Make your mind up! Is it AT&T or Apple you want to whine about?

The SDK would support a Google Voice app at the same level as the Blackberry one does, but it wouldn't let you hijack the dialer and SMS like the Android one. So good marketing material for Google. :)

When two companies collude like AT&T and Apple, it's hard to determine who is at fault. Might as well blame them both.
But, does anyone who's not from the US have anything to say about this? Are the networks that carry the iPhone in Europe and Asia as evil as AT&T?

#8There's gotta be a way outside of the App Store to get software onto the iPhone, right? If nothing else, developers gotta test their apps out. If that whole process (whatever it is) were wrapped into a neat little app, an entirely new distribution channel could be opened up. Has this happened yet? And if not (I assume not), why not?
edit: not an iphone app, a regular-type computer app.

I hope so. I'd like to be proven wrong on that. I have a Pre for work -- it desperately needs good third party apps.

Yes! And then that app could be distributed through the App Sto... uhhh... hmmm... err...
"And if not (I assume not), why not?"
See above.
