Google Gets Its iPhone Voice

Posted by kdawson on from the tap-tap-is-this-thing-on dept.

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."

    No, Apple, please do continue to act this way. Most people are confused about whether or not you are a closed-source company. This makes things perfectly clear.

    I dont think its a shot in the foot but i understand the limits in innovation.

    The good thing about the iPhone which i see is that you can't get a virus as opposed to an open development platform.

    This will be the thing that Apple always prides themselves, that is their customers never really have to worry about anti-virus.

    Opening dev, is opening a can of worms which Apple doesn't want. Google will do it not caring about this, and it took no more than a few days after its official release to have a virus out in the wild.

    I really dont want to have to purchase Norton AV for my mobile ... that would just suck.
