GV Mobile, an app that presents native admission on the iPhone to the search company's free Google Voice service, had initially been released in the App Store in early 2009 however was then removed by Apple in the summer of 2009 because it "duplicated features that come through the iPhone." Kovacs re-submitted the app, currently dubbed GV Mobile+, to Apple former this week in light of the recently-published strategy.
Opposition is good. Android's 'openness' moreover mighty sales seems to have lastly affected the method Apple handles the App Store. The lately announced relaxed App Store restrictions along with App Review Guidelines are currently in action, readers! Apple offers a closed appliance by means of strict and nebulously enforced rules for its App Store, placating carriers, furthermore making a device so easy it's become the first true consumer smart phone achievement. At the similar time, Jailbreak provides a de facto "expert" otherwise "pro" version of the iPhone for those willing to do the work, at no training otherwise support cost to Apple, along with complete deniability in terms of carrier furthermore media agreements.
GV Mobile+ was accessible in the App Store earlier this year however then Apple canned it source it "duplicated features that the iPhone comes through". Developer Sean Kovacs was therefore forced to move it to Cydia for jailbroken iPhones.

Whether we consider Apple along with/or AT&T are evil, Google is competitive, before whatever, with GV Mobile, Qik, and all the other apps accessible via Jailbreak, are iPhone users essentially getting the best of both worlds...?
In general, GV Mobile+ offers a complete and convenient native interface for Google Voice. Once approved, GV Mobile+ will cost $2.99. Kovacs estimates that the endorsement time will take seven to thirteen days, putting GV Mobile+ in the App Store sometime subsequent week.
