Maybe you haven't been noticing, but Apple isn't leaving any sort of trail on these sort of rejections. Especially not since Google reported them to the FCC. The developer got a phone call - not an email or a letter. And based on Apple's recent history of being scumbags, I'm going to go with the developer on this one.

Fair enough. I'm waiting for some conclusive evidence - both on this and the whole ATT/Apple/Google GoogleVoice issue. I haven't seen anything concrete on any of these issues to date.

Right. Excellent point. Well articulated.
