apple needs a stronger backbone
Concerning Google Voice and other communication apps recently being rejected/removed from the app store, I recently had the following conversation.
Chuck: I’m a little disappointed with Apple. They could be putting way more pressure on AT&T. Apple seems like they have a stronger position for negotiation in the relationship.
Sean: Agreed
Chuck: AT&T needs to suck it up, and just start new pricing. Seperate charges for minutes/texts/wifi is outdated.
Sean: Again. Agreed.
Blog it
So I’m blogging it. I really think Apple’s folding into AT&T on all this stuff is weak sauce. I don’t care what happens, but I’m paying AT&T way too much each month for them not to be giving me the best user experience technically possible.
Apparently, even the FCC is a little confused about what’s going on with AT&T’s role in the approval process for iPhone Apps.
