Google Voice Desktop App

I’m a bit late on this one, but thought I would post it for completeness.

The Boy Genius Report posted a story on a desktop app for Google Voice, and TechCrunch posted a video of it in operation. Branded as Gizmo5 by Google, the application ran on OSX, and allowed full Google Voice functionality, even appearing as a handset in the Google Voice control panel online.

While this is not so much a mobile app, it does show some integration of Gizmo5, the VOIP company that Google bought last year.

Apparently Google doesn’t want to develop many standalone apps, instead preferring web or “cloud” applications, so there’s no word if this program will make it out for us regular users to use.
