iOS: iPhone users unhappy jailbreaking to get the immensely popular, formerly-rejected GV Mobile can now get it from the App Store and integrate Google Voice with their device.
We’ve already mentioned GV Connect, the first Google Voice app to be re-approved by Apple since the App Store overhaul, but now fans of GV Mobile, the original third-party Voice app to get rejected, can finally use it again without jailbreaking. With it, you can dial numbers from your iPhone’s address book, send and receive SMS messages, retrieve voicemails, and even manage your Google voice settings.
The only glaring omission is push notifications, which is a planned feature for future releases. For now, though, if you really want push notifications and you’re a Mac user, you can always turn Google Voice into a Growl-friendly app and use previously mentioned Prowl to push those notifications to your phone (and even open them directly with GV Mobile).
GV Mobile is a $2.99 download for iOS devices. It currently only works with iOS 4, but the developer has already submitted an update that fixes a bug with older devices, so iOS 3 users may just have to wait a week to get it. I was unable to test this particular version of GV Mobile since I have an iOS 3-only device, so if you get a chance to check it out, let us know what you think (and how it compares to GV Connect) in the comments.
