It is called GV Connect
It looks pretty nice (the interface is functional although it could use a little polish).
It does not have push notification though, which is a pain. But using GVMax together with Prowl solves this problem. Here is how to do it:
- Purchase Prowl on your iPhone.
- Register at GVMax. Note you do NOT need to provide your GV password to GVMax. (If you don't provide your GV password you will need to create a gmail filter manually, instructions available here. If you do provide the password than all the config is done automatically)
- Once registered, change your default notifiers, select Prowl and enter your Prowl API key.
- Start prowl on your phone, 'Settings'/'Redirections'/'Add a New Redirection'
- Under 'Application Name' type 'GV SMS' and select 'GV Connect (SMS)
- Repeat step 4
- Under 'Application Name' type 'GV VM' and select 'GV Connect (Voicemail)
If I get sometime (unlikely) I will post a more detailed tutorial.

The author of GV connect is definitely gaining a lot of money/press from Sean Kovacs (the developer of GV Mobile)'s hard work. GV Mobile will be on the AppStore tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex, GV Mobile is also good and I think it is more polished and has more features so I am sure Sean will sell well. It is a pity Apple did not release all related apps at the same time. Having said that the guy who wrote GV Connect also put a lot of work into it, so good luck to him as well.
ReplyDeleteNow the question is will Google release an app as well? For some reason I don't think they will.
