Who Rejected Google Voice for iPhone? AT&T: Not Us. Google: REDACTED. Apple: We’re “Studying” it, Not Rejecting it | John Paczkowski | Digital Daily | AllThingsD

Apple spent a lot of time and effort developing this distinct and innovative way to seamlessly deliver core functionality blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. These factors present several new issues and questions to us that we are still pondering at this time.
