Apple Finally Approves Google Voice App - GV Connect

Apple finally approves Google Voice App (the second time) and it is available on the iTunes store now here for $2.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gv-connect/id347835665?mt=8

GV Connect is a native iPhone/iPod Touch application for your Google Voice account. The app features the following:

• Place calls using your Google Voice number rather than your mobile number.
• Send and receive text messages (SMS) from your Google Voice
• Listen to voicemails and recorded conversations right on your device (pause, rewind, fast foward)
• Mark messages as starred, block senders, delete conversations
• Set call forwarding, do-not-disturb), rediections
• Retina displays

I suspect the FTC inquiry on Apple’s blocking of a native Google Voice app sparked the change.

From GigaOM comes this great graphic about the App Store economy.

When you work it out, however, if there are 28K developers making $175M, that works out to just $6.2K per developer.  Not bad, but don’t quit your day job.
