Google Voice Sneaking by iPhone Gatekeepers

Last week, we told you about the Google-Apple war. Google fired another shot at Steve Jobs and company today releasing a new application for the iPhone that will allow their blackballed Google Voice app to work on the iPhone. To get by the iPhone gatekeepers, who banned their inatial Google Voice app in the summer, the Google engineers put Google Voice right inside any mobile web browser. Google Voice allows users to text and call using their Google phone number and can bypass using AT&T or other mobile providers all together.

Here is what Google says about their latest update to Google Voice on their blog this morning:

- Quickly call or text any number. Click on the "Call" or "SMS" buttons to easily call or text for free anyone by just typing their name or phone number. Since the extension is connected to your Google address book, you can just type any name from your address book, without having to remember their number. You can also benefit from Google Voice's low rates when calling any international number.

And add:

- Click any phone number on a web page to start a call. If you're looking for a phone number online, nothing is more annoying than having to physically type it on the phone to place the call. With the Google Voice Chrome extension installed, you can just click on any phone number on any web page and select the phone you want to dial from and you will be connected right away.

Looks like Apple has their goo on their face trying stop the almighty Google this time. Check out the Google Voice Blog post for all information you need on this neat new tool.
