Google Voice Is Coming Back To The iPhone Via The Browser
- jsz0 17y agoYou could always use Google Voice via the iPhone web browser. This is exactly why I really don't like TechCrunch. Almost every story I read there I feel like they're trying to manipulate people.
- nixme 17y agoExcept you can't play voicemails, which is the primary reason to use the web interface.
- jsz0 17y agoYes, you can. Not sure if they added this very recently or what. I don't use GV much but I just tested it to make sure.
- nixme 17y agoI just tried and it doesn't work :( I get a page full of garbled text (presumably the sound file) when I hit play. Using Mobile Safari on 3.1, non jailbroken, at http://www.google.com/voice http://www.google.com/voice. How are you getting this to work? I've been frustrated not being able to play voicemails when traveling without a laptop (obviously without having to call in to my account).
- jsz0 17y agoHm weird. I'm using an iPhone 3G with the latest software update. It opens the iPhone's QuickTime-ish player plugin when hitting play below the voicemail transcript.
- snewe 17y agoIt appears that they have figured out how to get the App interface (e.g. momentum scrolling) via the browser. Wasn't it a big deal that such changes could help developers avoid the App Store: http://daringfireball.net/2009/12/more_on_pastrykit http://daringfireball.net/2009/12/more_on_pastrykit
