Join me in Boycotting the Apple iTunes Store

I’ll join you in this boycott. There are several good developers I know who always get their very nice and much needed apps rejected.

Just another reason to not buy Apple products. I used to be an Apple fan, but am finding more and more reasons to use other products. I just sold my ipod so that I can buy a Zune instead!

[...] What do you think about iTunes blocking the Google Voice app from their store? [...]

That’s easy. I’m boycotting them by not buying an i(diot)phone in the first place!

Wow Trust Apple to Be Idiots again…

I join this Boycot cos Apple is a company full of Idiots (Expecaly the App store Part!)

I completley agree, with this, i would rather have a jailbroken iphone to be able to run these apps. The fact that we cannot run any apps we wish on the iphone, it is ridiculously stupid.

i completley agree with the boycott, and i am even thinking of going to the new google phone.

I wonder if google would simply leak it out to people who’d add it to the repos for jailbroken phones…

Perhaps Google should block any and all Google searches for Apple and/or iTunes in their search engine. I wonder if that would have any influence on Apple decision.

Uhmmm…I have 2 apps that *do* Google Voice. In fact one is called google voice app and looks just like my pages on Goole Voices web pages?? I’d assumed, (yea, I know), that it was approved by Google because of the likeness..??

I am joining this boycott, buy not purchasing anymore apple products and stop purchasing paid apps untill the google voice app gets approved.

this is probably the main reason i do not like apple products. when i first heard about apples app killer the rant i sent apple would make a sailor blush. all this is about is the fact that there might be free apps that work with google voice and not apples built in features. apple wants to make sure that they can build apps that only work with their features to make more money off a all ready over priced piece of hardware. then they wonder why people jailbreak their iphones. this is just like osx having built-in apps to only work on certain computer components. what apple does not seem to understand is the fact that if they did nor restrict their os most likely they would have the 80% market share, and not microsoft.

I will join you in this boycott! This is terrible childish behaviour disguised with a fancy explanation.

Oh this is terrible! Watch the YouTube App be removed from the App Store now, per Google’s request. A terrible, terrible choice. (RETWEETED!)

[...] do you think about iTunes blocking the Google Voice app from its [...]

They’re afraid of competition.

If you have installous on your iPod/iPhone I bet you can still get the other one they removed.

I join the boycott! This is the beginning of the end of the iPhone era. http://bit.ly/FXlBQ

I join you also.

In fact, it could be said you’re joining me. I have boycotted Apple ever since I first came across one

The idea of asking Steve Jobs’ permission to put something on your phone is just plain silly. I can put anything I want on my Treo 700P and play it without difficulty, payment, or permission.

Good luck!

I am glad that Apple did this, so now Google knows what rejection means (particularly for those truly innocent publishers who rely on Adsense but got terminated all of a sudden)

Ok-I checked, and yes, BOTH Google Apps I got just over a week ago, (and paid for),have been removed from the app store. I guess I got them just in time!! I’m done with the app store; not JUST because of this, but it’s certainly a big part of it.

i think this is completely ridiculous. by purchasing the product, i think you have a right to put anything you want on it. even if it “duplicates features on the new iphone”

It is insane that Apple would do this, but not shocking at all….I was so against getting an IPhone and so glad I waited for the Pre….Since the SDK was released by Palm, there are already 3 GV apps that I can choose from in the Homebrew application websites. And all 3 are working, I just have to choose which one I want to use, and they are all 100% free that great developers are coding away and allowing early adapters to use. If you are all that fed up with the control apple has on the iPhone users, drop them all together and go out and get a Pre and start using GV as it was meant to be used….

I dont think its apple’s fault

att forced them too, because it would make extra use of their network and less people would use their non-reasnable minutes prices and whatever

Does anybody know if the net nutrality act applies to mobile?

seems like they broke this, blocking skype and such
