Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
Today, after a wait of 16 months, the official Google Voice app for the iPhone is available in the the App Store. Google originally submitted the app last year, but Apple felt it was too much like the iPhone’s own calling system, so it wasn’t approved until recently. The app requires iOS 3.1 and a Google Voice account.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
