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."

I'm wondering why they restrict it to iPhone only...
Because the Google Voice app isn't a VoIP app, the phone-related functionality requires actually having a phone.
It would be of limited utility on an iPod touch or other non-phone iOS device.
