Google announced today in its official company blog today that all their users can download the Google Voice application from Apple’s App Store, available for Apple Inc’s iPhone. Google Inc.’s Web-based phone service is now available, which ends the dispute that spurred an inquiry by the authorities about why the application wasn’t being allowed on the device.
Google Voice is an application, by Google, mostly popular because if its facility to make calls in the U.S., send text messages and organize voice mails, without a single fee charges. It also allows all its users to receive calls on multiple devices with only one phone number. The application obviously had the potential of being an actual threat for services offered by Apple and AT&T Inc., which are the exclusive U.S. carrier for the iPhone. Apple had rejected the application last year, leading to, letters being sent by the Federal Communications Commission for inquiry in to Apple, Google and AT&T.It is indisputable that the competition between Google and Apple is increasing as they keep up their fight for smartphone users. According to a research by Gartner Inc, Google’s Android operating system was the second most popular operating system for smartphones globally; accounting for 20.5 percent of the market, Whereas Apple was the third, with 13.5 percent.
Apple has approved almost all applications that are being sold on its App Store today, which includes than 300,000 programs. The original reason stated by Apple in reply to Google’s Voice App was that it rejected it because it alters iPhone features.
