Many people lamented when the Google Voice service was banned from the iPhone app store, especially the developers of applications who got caught in the dust up between Google and Apple. It’s been several months now since the skirmish, and while the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is still looking into what exactly happened, Riverturn is returning its VoiceCentral app to the iPhone, it’s just via the browser this time.
People who miss the ease of the VoiceCentral application will be happy to learn that there is now a mobile Web version of the tool in private beta according to The Washing Post. The new version exists completely on the Web, so it is totally outside of the control of Apple. This also means that if Riverturn should ever charge for access, Apple will receive no revenue.
According to the report, the new version of the app will allow you to do everything the old one could do except for accessing your Google Voice Contacts. You can still read transcribed messages, texting and, of course, making calls. The new way the call features work is to call your iPhone at the same time it is calling the party you are attempting to contact. This will still use your minutes on your phone, but at least you will be able to go through Google Voice if you so choose.
