    The best Android Apps: #1 Google Voice


    Here at Android Apps Central we're starting a new series of posts about The apps we love on the Mobile OS we adore: Android.

    We're starting with what we think is the ultimate best feature of any android phone: Google Voice.

    Some people dropped their iPhones altogether for Android devices mainly because of Google Voice. Here's a comprehensive explanation of what Google Voice is all about: "from Mashable"

    "Imagine a world where you never have to listen to another voicemail again. That’s almost what you get when you set up Google Voice and utilize the Android app. Google Voice lets you keep your existing mobile number, but will forward your missed calls to a generated Google number that you can check on the web, in your e-mail, or via the app.

    The service automatically generates voicemail transcription that is usually accurate enough to get the gist of what the caller is saying. Instead of getting a voicemail on your phone, you’ll receive and e-mail (or text message) with the transcription.

    The app then lets you scroll through your messages visually, like an e-mail inbox, and stream the audio messages from the web as needed, all without wasting precious mobile minutes.

    There are certainly other great voicemail alternatives for the iPhone (and Voice is available as a web-based service), but Google Voice’s deep integration with Gmail (you can also enable audio playback within web e-mail messages) makes it a great compliment to your hand-held arsenal of communications tools."

    Google Voice is a Must have android app!

    From what you can see, it's a great free service that's open to the public. Unfortunately, it's only available in the US. We're hoping to see it open in other countries so everyone can enjoy what big G has to offer.
