Google Voice will be retooled, as a web application for the iPhone
As David Pogue column on Friday in connection with the ongoing saga of Apple and Google Voice, it shows that Google has found a loophole:
Google has already said he is preparing a replacement for Google Voice app that offers exactly the same features as a rejected app - except that it will be a specialist, iPhone-shaped Web-pages. For all intent and purposes, it will behave exactly as the application would be, you can even install it in the form of icons on your home screen.
Google Voice is a free application that allows users to designate a single number to ring at home, at work, as well as mobile phones, as well as receive voice mail, text transcripts. There, in the speculation that AT & T is behind the decision to block an application, because Google Voice enables cheap international calls and text messages for free.
It is not clear if just to make Google Voice is available as a web application will change Apple’s mind, but there is a precedent. Apple also has rejected Google’s Latitude for the iPhone, until it was remade, as a web application.
A Google representative did not say how close to completion of this project may be, but reiterated the previous statement. “We will continue to work to bring our services to users of iPhone, for example, using the advances in mobile browsers.”
