Google Voice is BIG, so BIG it can change the whole cellphone economy. Andy Grooves inflection point?

No iPhone? Apple and AT&T have their counter-plans I assume so they said no to Google for now. Keep all options open. Dominate or have no part in it has been Apple's policy for a long time. It will not share this role as the smartphone will be the only phones alive in the future and they have to start taking territory early. No Palm? Are they left for dead with bad PR on iTunes lockout and no membership in the smartphone realm.
