The saga between Google Voice, Apple and AT&T continues. Today, a chat transcript emerged that seems to pin blame on AT&T for the application being rejected from the App Store.

"free service for streaming live to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Using Livestream Procaster, users can stream live from their webcam, video camera or even broadcast their PC or Mac desktop. Livestream producers can start streaming live to the addressable iPhone and iPod Touch audience over 3G or Wi-Fi connections, with less than five minutes of setup.

"Programming games is a challenging business. If you've never done it before, you might be surprised at how much code goes into making the most simple things happen on screen. And if you've always wanted to make a game for iOS devices, on top of actually creating the game, there's the App Store approval process and, of course, the wailing hordes that are App Store reviewers. Well, now there's a new way to try your hand at programming on Apple's tablet -- a new app from Adelaide-based Two Lives Left known as Codify."

"I do want to be more organized, and so when I finally bought my iPad last week, I poked around the App Store for solutions and tried to find one that 1) was easy to use and pleasing to the eye and that 2) I would actually stick with."

"We've heard of secondary schools and universities swapping out books for iPads before, but now thanks to a pilot program in four middle schools in Las Vegas, we're beginning to see just how helpful iPads can be in an educational setting."

"We previewed the PhotoFast iFlashDrive back in June and it's a neat concept: a USB flash drive that also packs Apple's 30-pin dock connector, so you can increase the storage on your iDevice. If that piqued your interest, you'll be glad to know it's available to pre-order in the US and UK."

"Despite it's erroneous claims to be "the first professional synthesizer designed for the iPad", a PR statement which has caused a flurry of disgruntled comments from some of the music press and a number of very fine iOS Developers, Animoog by Moog Music Inc is definitely a great sounding Synth app with a fine looking UI."
