Google Gets Its iPhone Voice

snydeq writes "Google has found a way to let iPhone owners use Google Voice, launching a Google Voice Web app that runs on iPhone 3.0 OS devices, as well as on Palm WebOS devices. The Google Voice application leverages HTML 5's functionality for running sophisticated Web applications on a browser at speeds matching those of native applications, Google said. The Google Voice-iPhone conflict is one of several issues putting the companies on a collision course, the latest of which involves Apple potentially courting Microsoft to tap Bing as the iPhone's default search."

    Is it just me or does Google have this disgusting sense of righteousness that makes them think they are always right and can do whatever they want.

    Apple told you No, stop trying to circumvent it.

    Hi Steve,

    I think Google is trying to increase the visibility, for the average user, of Apple's strong handed walled garden approach. Most people outside of Slashdot don't know how ridiculous Apple's policies are with the iPhone, so Google is helping Apple make an ass of themselves in a way Google can publicize.

    "Google has found a way to let iPhone owners use Google Voice."

    Really? There's a patch for that.
