Quick question that's slightly off topic with regards to Google Voice:

If my mom calls my GV number from her AT&T cellphone and I answer from my AT&T iPhone, we're still covered for free under the family plan right? Or does the GV number take over and we both start using our minutes? Still getting used to this google number, but it seems damn promising. ]]>Jul 28th 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/
i just said the same thing to myself...finally a real reason for me to jailbreak

i'm pretty sure (and someone correct me if i'm wrong) that gv is just forwarding the call, so on the receiving end, you are answering your mom's cell, but on the calling end she had to dial your gv#, so it may cost her and in essence, you, minutes]]>Jul 28th 2009 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/
Thanks for the info. That kind of makes GV less viable in my eyes, but still useful. Now another quick question... could I add a Skype Number on it? Would that give me any advantage whatsoever? I'm still trying to maximize the usefulness of GV and I'm still unsure of how to use it. ]]>Jul 28th 2009 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/

I think it's a legitimate reason to be pissed off at Apple over this and other app rejections. Personally I love my iPhone, but the more shit like this that Apple does, the more I am considering jailbreaking my iPhone just to install apps that Apple doesn't approve of. ]]>Jul 28th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/voPPYuVTNAp2O3gAQJKsfg?authkey=Gv1sRgCIy8_srF4Z6FdQ&feat=directlink]]>Jul 28th 2009 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 29th 2009 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 29th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/Jul 28th 2009 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/28/google-voice-app-gv-mobile-ported-to-jailbroken-iphones-web-app/

What's worse is I think they've started to drink their own cool-aid and have lost all objective judgment when it comes to the iPhone.

For example, Final Cut Studio. No support for Blu-ray because Blu-ray competes with iTunes. You can't even export audio to an mp3 in Final Cut because that's a bit too universal and allows you to easily use other phone and devices.

No, Apple wouldn't do it and if they did, it wouldn't have nearly the features google voice has.
