“Submitted,” says @seankovacs. Why do you care? Sean Kovacs happens to be the developer of the Google Voice mobile application. You know, the one that Apple removed from the App Store and then got into a debate with the FCC about? Sean expects Google Voice to be in the App Store within a week or so. What’s to keep Apple from removing it again, you ask? Apple recently changed the strictness of some of their restrictions for developers submitting apps into their store.

As quickly as Google Voice was beginning to pick up some steam—with a public beta version due out in September—it has been effectively shunned from one of the biggest smartphone platforms out there. Apple has removed Sean Kovacs’ GV Mobile and Riverturn’s Voice Central, the excellent Google Voice apps, from the App Store.
