Following is excerpt from Apple's response to FCCon an
iPhone, the ?Phone? icon that is always shown at the
bottom of the Home Screen launches Apple?s mobile
telephone application, providing access to Favorites,
Recents, Contacts, a Keypad, and Visual Voicemail. The
Google Voice application replaces Apple?s Visual Voicemail
by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone
number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail
from being stored on the iPhone, i.e., disabling Apple?s
Visual Voicemail. Similarly, SMS text messages are
managed through the Google hub?replacing the iPhone?s
text messaging feature. In addition, the iPhone user?s
entire Contacts database is transferred to Google?s servers,
and we have yet to obtain any assurances from Google that
this data will only be used in appropriate ways.
So rather than blabbering nonsense research why Google is
rejected. I don't want them messing with anything much
less copying my contacts onto their computers.
