Adobe AIR Desktop Utility for Google Voice

Read our new iPad review: The Business Case for the iPad

Sorry, but this app is no longer available.

We are big proponents of Google Apps for small to mid-size companies, and Google Voice could become an integral member of the Apps family. As with other services like this, we test it on ourselves first and then encourge our "early adopter" clients to try it before recommending it to average users. Google Voice has proven to be very useful, and reliable enough after a couple of months, even though Google still considers it a beta application. See our blog to read detailed comments about Google Voice.

But one thing we noticed is that people keep closing their Web browser, or navigating away from the Google Voice Web site. When that happens they miss messages, don't use Google Voice when they could for outgoing calls and text messages, and generally don't use it much. To help keep Google Voice open on the desktop we created this application. We used Adobe AIR so the same application could be used on Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
