Google Voice for Android updated - now with widgets!
Google Voice for Android just got an update -- available now in the Android Market -- and two new home screen widgets are on the menu. The first is a Google Voice inbox widget, which allows you to scan through message previews right from your home screen, and tap one to open the full message in Google Voice. It sounds like a real time-saver for folks with tons and tons of messages to wade through.The second widget, Settings, might be even more useful. It shows your credit balance, and has 4 useful settings buttons. There's one to open the Google Voice app, one to compose a text message, one to change your dialing settings, and a fourth to toggle Do Not Disturb mode on and off.
That last one is a real winner if you've been afraid to turn on Do Not Disturb (which sends your Voice calls straight to voicemail) because you wouldn't remember to turn it off. Now it's right in front of you, so you can use it with impunity.

Why isn't Google Voice available in Canada yet? What are you waiting for Google, I want it nao!
*sigh* But seriously, this is such a pain, we're like right there, just north of the border, and google is an internet company, supposedly "without borders", yet we still don't have google voice. Might as well be freaking Europe or something.

I'm still pissed that Google changed how it dials outbound calls on android. The new app dials random numbers instead of a constant number that you could you use as one of your 'favs' on you cell plan. Do not update your gv app if you want this capability.
Sell outs!

drunktank... if you want the old version (down-grade) i found this link. type it in your phones browser. www.odslabs.com/gv.apk Its the version b4 the ignorant upgrade.
and i am sure it had something to do with carriers offering "my-faves" "friends and fam" or similar programs. google knew what they were doing, cell carriers however didnt catch on till later which .imo. has more to do w/the providers "crying" and essentially forcing GV's hand to distribute this upgrade.
but hey they make it sound all nice and stuff w/all the pretty add-ons, right?
LMAO
