Could we be seeing an official Google Voice iPhone app in the near future?
The question was raised during today’s Google Voice/Gmail press conference. Last year, controversy erupted when Apple rejected the Google Voice iPhone app. Google quickly fought back, eventually leading to an FCC investigation involving Google, Apple and AT&T.
But it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing a Google Voice for iPhone anytime soon. Craig Walker, the group product manager for Google Voice, said that “nothing has changed” since Google, Apple and AT&T submitted their letters to the FCC last year.
While the answer isn’t what we were hoping for, at least Google Voice has an HTML5-based web app. Still, it seems like the tech giant has abandoned its quest to get Google Voice in the App Store. With tensions between the two companies at an all-time high, we’re not surprised.
