Google voice on iphone

Google Voice provides a lot attractive service, and it is expanding its users though more extensive "invitation".

But, the iphone apps are blocked, both google official app and the third party GV Mobile. A lot of noises were generated during last days. It seems ATT denied the resposibility for this. Well, Apple does not any incentive to do this other than to please the carrier, ATT. The rhetorics from ATT might be a sign, we might be able to see it in apple store some time. If it does not happen, I will simply jailbreak the iphone.

The 2-year contracts with ATT sucks, but I can live with it. It is another thing if ATT/Apple continue to block good apps, and jailbreak is just one click button away anyway.
