Apple blocks Google Voice app, Spotify next?

Worrying precedent set by Apple today. From the Guardian:

Apple has rejected the Google’s Voice application for the iPhone saying that it duplicated features in the popular smart phone. The move has called into question the control that Apple exerts over approving applications and whether the rejection and others constitute anti-competitive behaviour.

Does Spotify duplicate an existing iPhone feature?

    It duplicates the iPod, it seems to me. And it’s not going to help iTunes unless iTunes is tied into the “pay to download a Spotify track” option. But will Apple be foolhardy enough to deny it access – that could damage Apple because countless millions will jailbreak their phone just in order to use Spotify, with serious long-term consequences for Apple.
