Google Voice desktop app keeps your SMS and Voicemail handy

GSBot · Oct 28th, 2009, 11:30 AM

With Google Voice now able to take over the voicemail from your mobile number, there are more reasons than ever to keep your Google Voice messages close at hand. There's cross-platform Google Voice desktop app that does just that, giving you quick desktop access to your voicemail and SMS messages.

The desktop app's features are very basic: just your inbox and contacts, in a compact layout. It's good for making sure you don't miss incoming messages, but don't expect too much else from it. If you're on a Mac, you might prefer to use Fluid to create a standalone browser for Google Voice.

This is nifty, just installed it. Does exactly what it says, nothign else. But its so much easier to send txt msgs from the PC rather than the phone.

I'm eligible for upgrade to 3GS but I dun fancy compass or mms at this point. I prefer jailbreakabilty and unlock over other silly gimmicks
