We've featured one or two Google Voice clients before, but why install another client when you can use one you already have? Free service GVXMPP brings Google Voice support to your IM client of choice, adding SMS-sending power to your desktop. GVXMPP works by forwarding SMS messages to an XMPP account for you, allowing you to send and receive SMS messages from your favorite IM program, such as Pidgin, Adium, or even Beejive on your smartphone. All you need to do is set up a quick GVXMPP account and set your Google Voice to forward SMS messages to your email. Then, make sure those emails get forwarded to the XMPP account GVXMPP gives you and put that XMPP account into your favorite IM program.
A few weeks ago, Alex Nicolaou, Engineering Manager, wrote about the benefits of the fast and feature-rich iterative web app . Delivering Google services via mobile browsers has worked well for the Gmail team, so we decided to follow the same approach with Google Voice. Today, we're excited to introduce the Google Voice web app for the iPhone and Palm WebOS devices.

If you’re an iPhone owner, you probably don’t want to hear about Flash. Full support for Adobe’s rich media technology has been promised for the iPhone many times, but it’s still not there yet . However, if you plan on getting the Nexus One , you’ll be one of the first users to be able try out Flash Player 10.1, currently in beta. Adobe posted a video showing the latest Flash Player happily working on the Nexus One. It can be used to browse Flash-heavy sites and play online games, but it can also be used to deliver Flash-based ads. From what we can see in the video, Nexus One’s powerful Snapdragon CPU handles Flash with ease.
Google just made it a little bit easier to call ahead for reservations or to order a pizza for pick-up while you're on the go. In addition to its recent addition of location-based search suggestions , Google has added the ability for businesses to include a clickable phone number in their listings, making it even easier to use the search engine on your smartphone. Just as with location-based search suggestions, searching for businesses from your mobile phone will use your location to give you results closest to you. If you are looking for something at a different location, maybe where you'll be later in the day, just include that location and the results focus around that. Clicking on the number will automatically dial that number, ending the days of trying to remember the number or looking for a scrap piece of paper to jot it down on before switching away from the browser.
With the 2.0’s offer growing, Mashups have become a key factor of Web success, mixing existing services and contents to build innovative applications. However, current communication architectures are not suited for mashup development. Thanks to the development of communication APIs, third parties can now easily build innovative mashups by mixing communication features with their business logic. With such communication mashups, it becomes possible to design synchronous mashups reacting in-live to a communication stream. Now, a communication mashup could “listen” to a communication between two users and use the content of the conversation as an input. Therefore, communication APIs enable the creation of new applications combining the extensive amount of data and services available on the web and the reactivity and interactivity of current communication vectors.
