Gizmodo and a few other sites are reporting that GoogleVoice will have an application out for the iPhone. I have to believe that we'll see an app for the Google Android G1 (aka "the Dream") handsets too.
GoogleVoice, which is the reincarnated GrandCentral is clearly evolving. While the transcription is weak today, if we paid for it we all could complain, but it's free for now. Candidly, if they could deliver PhoneTag quality, I'd pay for it as I think many would, because receiving the message by email, and SMS (for free) perfectly is a time saver, but it's all the other features that make it a better value than piecemeal services like SpinVox or even PhoneTag (which I prefer of the two.)
Now how to best use it? For starters grab an iPhone and use the Google Voice app to bridge calls. If you're calling outside the USA the rates will be super low to bridge the calls, but more importantly, you'll be touch tapping also returning calls via the app.
All that's missing is Voice Activated calling ala Webley (CommuniKate) from Parus Interactive or what was called WildFire years back... My guess, given the number of ex Nuance folks at Google is that will be coming too..
