Google voice Iphone and Google voice Iphone App latest updates :- Big mess between Apple, AT&T and Google over the Google Voice iPhone app last summer? Yeah, well, Google is back with a new version of the application that Apple won’t have the chance or opportunity to approve (or disapprove) because it’s used from the iPhone’s browser.
Google says, “For quick access to the most important features like ‘Dialer’, ‘Compose SMS’, ‘Inbox’ or ‘Contacts,’ you can add shortcuts to your iPhone home screen or Palm Launcher — so cheap calls and messaging will be just a single click away. And because the Google Voice web app uses advanced features of modern HTML5 browsers, it offers native app-like performance and speed.”
The new Web app will work on iPhones using OS 3.0 and up. In a surprise move, this version of Google Voice will also work with Palm’s webOS devices (Pre, Pre Plus, Pixi, Pixi Plus).
The Google Voice debacle unfolded last year when Apple first approved a Google Voice application from Google and then later pulled it. Many believed that it was yanked from the iPhone Apps Store at the behest of AT&T. Google Voice lets users maker cheaper long-distance calls and forward calls to multiple other numbers. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission opened an investigation of sorts and asked all the companies involved for an explanation of why the application was removed. The results of that investigation have not yet been revealed.
