Google Voice is one above average service despite its minor annoyances, and the mobile version for BlackBerry and Android platforms do away with the need for additional steps, making it an obvious replacement for your handset’s native dialer. While there is no official client on the iPhone, selected 3rd party developers have released their own apps on the App Store. Apparently, such actions has caught the attention of the folks at Apple, where apps such as GV Mobile has been removed, with Apple citing the fact that it “duplicates features that come with the iPhone”. Apart from that, VoiceCentral has also been removed from the App Store. How’s that for some tight-fisted rivalry?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
