Official Google Voice App Approved For iOS
silverpig writes "Apple has finally approved the official Google Voice app for iOS. After 16 months of being in app-review limbo, the app is finally here, but only for users in the US, and not for iPod Touch users. An interesting use for the app would be to use it as a dialing front end on an iPod touch in concert with a VOIP service, but it seems like this isn't an option for now. It seems like non-US users can get the app if they have a US iTunes account. You can create a US iTunes account without a credit card by following this Apple article."
What is really missing from the iPhone that Android has (at least some Android handsets I have seen) is the single swipe trail typing method, where you trace over the letters you want in a single hand gesture and the phone picks the most likely spelling of the word, discarding junk letters you happened to touch while joining up your actual chosen word. I thought that was really cool.
Or you could just spell the fucking word properly yourself.
You're an illiterate moron? There's an app for that.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
Yeah. A lot of people on /. base their iPhone commentary on version 1 of the software on the original iPhone and then compare that to Android 2.1 or upcoming features in 3.0 it is really pretty funny and quite sad.
And 98% of the paid mobile application market. (And of course your numbers are just lies...)
You live in an interesting world that is clearly different from the one the rest of us occupy. Stay safe.
But your oven is locked down to its own software, which is wtf we are talking about...
