Apple approve the Google Voice for iPhone

After approval by a bunch of third party Google voice apps, it appears Apple has finally made it inevitable and obvious by accepting the official Google Voice app for the iPhone. This is the same app that Apple famously banned in summer 2009 and facing an investigation by THE FCC.

The story was broken-TechCrunch reports that Apple has already approved the app and it will make its debut in the app store very soon after Google revamps it to work with iPhone 4 and support multi tasking via the latest version of the Elf; Google has an HTML 5 based Web version of Google voice that released after Apple ban and it was a success with users.

It will not be wrong to say that Google Voice HTML 5 version success must have had some influence in Apple's attitude change.Whatever the problem Apple had with Google, it was users got a practical tool that is taken away from them and when they had an option, they embraced it with open arms.

Apple probably realized that the only losers in the whole situation was themselves and not Google or users of both the avoided and resisted what they should have done long ago, but better late than never.

Another Google Voice App is hereby approved for the iPhone

After GV Connect yesterday, Apple continues its very positive and generally welcomed change of attitude and has just approved GV Mobile + app fir iPhone. Developers of the app, Sean Kovacs, confirmed to the media that his app has received the green signal from Apple day and that it contained very soon on the app store. The developer also promised his followers on Twitter that he will make the app for free if fans make a trending topic on the social network.

GV Mobile + costs are currently at $ 2.99, and supports the transfer and playback of voice messages, call began using your Google Voice number and most other features you are looking for or have been using for a while if you have a jailbroken iPhone or Android device.

Experts predicted and invited even Apple will continue to lift the ban on all apps that were banned by the company 14 months ago because the "duplicate" existing iPhone features.This claim was rejected by the fans, and now Apple finally listening for the changed its policy for developers and permitted a third party tools to be used in apps.

Now there are VoiceCentral and official Google Voice app remains un approved and it will not be a surprise if we see them to make their appearance on Apple's app store again in the next few days; now there for approval of third party apps, it makes sense to accept official app too and Apple faces the FCC investigation over prohibit official GV app.

VoiceCentral, on the other hand, is an app developed by development house called Riverturn, which have now been moved to a HTML 5, browser-based Google Voice client called the Black Swan. Riverturn President Kevin Duerr says that the company will probably leave his original iPhone before filing their HTML 5 app performs better than its iPhone version and they will continue to improve it as a web app.

Apple needs to take a decision as soon as possible and win their hearts that in today's super tough competitive environment, no company can afford to postpone and alienate its customers even for a short time.
