Google Voice and the iPhone should be a match made in heaven right? Wrong! Apparently Apple hates Google right now since Latitude has been relegated to a web app and Google’s official Voice app was rejected by Apple and GV Mobile and VoiceCentral have both been removed from the App Store.

However with death comes new life. Now that GV Mobile has been taken out of the App Store after being approved personally by Phil Schiller the developer has taken his app to the jailbreak scene and released it for free via Cydia.

Being a Google Voice user myself I can say that this is disappointing that Apple (and possibly AT&T) are stifiling technology like this. Google Voice is a great service which has the potential to truly change the way we use our phones, be it mobile or landline. I really hope that Apple’s App Store team gets their heads out of their behinds and start approving truly innovative apps like this and stop allowing crap like wet tshirt and fake mustache apps.
