Apple will not start up to itself Google Voice

Google assures, that company Apple has rejected Google application Voice for iPhone while Apple says, that this appendix has not been rejected, and simply is in a studying stage. Such situation has developed, at least, by the end of August when both companies have answered inquiries of the Federal commission of the USA (FCC), however and till now Google Voice it is impossible to find out in shop App Store.

Google Voice not for iPhone

Let's remind, that in the end of July it became known, that Apple has removed from App Store a number of VoIP-appendices, and also has not resolved Google Voice. Some analysts have assumed, that to these steps the company has induced AT&T which gives in the USA cellular communication for owners iPhone.

Thereupon FCC has directed to all three companies inquiries on purpose to clear a situation about unfair business dealing. Answers from AT&T and Apple have been promulgated in the end of August, and reaction Google was not clear until recently. Have originally considered, that a part of the information which Google it was necessary to give FCC, is confidential, and have asked not to publish the commission in open access.

Confidential letter Google

However later corporation Google has changed the mind and has asked FCC to publish all the same the letter (PDF). They explain the decision to that public has started to demand access to these data on the basis of the Law on information freedom. But also, such step was presented quite logical as Apple the answer confidential has not counted.

The edition quotes letters of two readers who have addressed to founder Apple concerning refusal in warranty service. Both appealed to that the smoking theme does not appear in the guarantee agreement in any way.

On smokers the guarantee does not extend

The author of one of letters — the woman by name of Ruth — has received from Jobs's office the answer with sending to agency OSHA specifications on which nicotine is included into the list of dangerous substances. "But OSHA also names" dangerous "a calcium carbonate (is present at bioadditives with calcium), spirit and hydrogen peroxide (are used for washing of wounds), chlorine (which disinfect water), sucrose (is present at foodstuff) and talc (children's powders etc.)...", — the woman resounded.

Apple does not repair computers of smokers

As a result of negotiations representative Jobs has offered the proprietress of the computer (which does not smoke — the 21-year-old daughter smokes) additional diagnostics and disk drive repair, if a problem only in the disk drive. Then she has called back and has informed, that the computer contains pitch from a cigarette smoke, and the disk drive and is at all impregnated by nicotinic pitches, so Apple cannot repair the computer (got 2 years ago together with a 3-year-old guarantee) at the expense of the company.
