Google Voice finally hits the iPhone, thanks to VoiceCentral's web app

After the big blowup over Apple's rejection of the official Google Voice iPhone app, it turns out that Voice is coming to the iPhone anyway - just not in the way you might expect. VoiceCentral, a Google Voice app that was also rejected by Apple, is coming back to life as a web app called VoiceCentral Black Swan Edition. It's currently in private beta.

When VoiceCentral is finally available to the public, get ready to make calls, send texts, and read and listen to voicemail messages, all from a convenient location that beats the pants off of the current iPhone interface for Google Voice. VoiceCentral does have some limitations as a web app, though: it has to use the speaker (or earphones) for sound, instead of the phone's earpiece. It also can't access your contact list directly from the iPhone, so you'll have to put your contacts into Google Voice.

VoiceCentral's not perfect, but it's a sight better than what iPhone users are stuck with now. Until this whole mess with the FCC gets resolved and Google Voice makes a miraculous return to the App Store, it looks like signing up for a chance to ride the Black Swan is your best bet.

There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...
