Google Voice

The GV Mobile App is pending approval, and will most likely be approved before the public launch of Google Voice. IP Telephony has been mobile for some time with Skype and the various SIP phones available. It will take Google's strength and market share to make IP telephony mainstream. I predict the white space that currently carries analog television will become WiMax, and SIP phones will become mainstream.

The iPod touch users who will be able to make voice calls with GV Mobile should be pleased with this application. GrandCentral users are still being converted to Google Voice, and most of these users had already found Grand Dialer for the iPhone. GrandDialer allowed callers to make calls from their GrandCentral telephone number.

Google Voice is free, and GV Mobile might cost some money. It is possible the price will be in the $2.99 range. It is most likely worth $9.99 or more. As a one-time charge to have voice function on an iPod touch, I am sure many people will pay what is needed.
