This is just a great find that "helps" Google Voice users. I can send text messages to my family and friends, even to China. I can initiate calls that come to my cell. It has full address book just like the web version ( but I think it pulls from the local Address Book but not sure ). Every now and then it fails to connect to the google server but that is ok as I know its just a helper. Oh and it seems to be updated very frequently which is a good sign. Oh, and it uses GROWL notifications which is superfine. Yeah, I wrote "superfine". My hats off to the developer.
