Allow Google Voice on iPhone

Google Voice is a call forwarding app owned by Google used to help users run their lives with ease by giving them customization over their phone numbers and uniting all their phones under one single number. This has no negative impacts on the phone companies or on the handset makers.
We, the undersigned, petition for the right to use the iPhone in a way that we see fit. We may have different views on the App store approval process, but regardless of our individual views on that topic, we are all in agreement that the steps taken in recent months to hinder the use of any Google Voice application is wrong or shows that you misunderstand how Google Voice works.Google Voice is a call forwarding app owned by Google used to help users run their lives with ease by giving them customization over their phone numbers, and uniting all their phones under one single number. This has no negative impacts on the phone companies or on the handset makers.A Google Voice application on the App Store would not harm the iPhone's user experience in the slightest. It would enhance it. Users would get both the iPhone's UI and the ease of Google Voice. Here is something to think about. An iPhone user never brags about how awesome the included dialer is, but many of the iPhone community is complaining about the lack of a Google Voice app.Another question as to why Google Voice could possibly be bad for the iPhone is the AT&T issue. Google Voice would not affect them since Google Voice is NOT a VoIP application. Instead it uses a carrier's network to call from a Google number. What happens when the user calls a U.S. number from Google Voice is their phone calls Google over your carrier's network, then Google connects you to the person the user is calling. All of this happens over the carriers service NOT a WiFi connection or the internet. Users are still getting charged by their networks and not by Google. But if this is still an issue, let me inquire about similar app that are still on the App Store. Skype is similar to Google Voice with the exception that the carrier is NOT receiving payment from the calls, Skype Limited is. With Google Voice, Google is not receiving any compensation, the carrier is.Also, being more lenient on the App Store's approval process would keep some people from jailbreaking. In a recent CNN article, Brian X. Chen of "Wired" reported that often times, jailbreakers get their business from Apple iPhone users who are tired of the restrictions. The article stated that "Kim Streich, a developer whose app, 3G Unrestrictor, earned $19,000 in sales in just two weeks through Cydia, an application available on jailbroken iPhones that allow users to download many third-party apps, much like the App Store, but with a wider array of apps, including some that have been rejected from the App Store that seem to be more useful than many apps that have made it through the App Store approval process. The article quotes Streich saying "People are so annoyed by Apple..., and if you give them opportunity to go around it, then they'll even pay for it"
If nothing else, I hope this petition prompts you to fully disclose why any Google Voice application would have been REMOVED after being approved in the first place.
