The code Google used to get its app to start recording your voice when you put your phone next to your face was "private" code, not part of that published list. It works, but isn't in Apple's official list of functions, so it's not supposed to be in anyone's app.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/11/google-yes-we-broke-iphone-app-store-rules"><P>The biggest <EM>practical</EM> problem could be if Apple disables that "private" function in the future, which might break Google's app. A more <EM>political</EM> problem: Now that Google has admitted it skirted Apple's rules, will Apple enforce them against one of its most important partners? Or will it let the useful but sneaky feature live -- at the risk of setting a precedent of favoritism? (Or will it even make the private code public?)</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A5EB792B-384E-4F5B-A3C2-873098D4D491/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
