If Palm is Working on a Google Voice App, It Can Measure Up

With all of the brouhaha surrounding Apple, Google, the FCC, and Google Voice (check out TiPb's excellent roundup here), it's only natural that a nation would turn its lonely eyes to other platforms and ask "Whither Google Voice."  Over at TechCrunch, Michael Arrington did just that, suggesting that "A source close to Palm" says the "company plans to roll our deep integration with Google Voice on the Pre [...] sometime in the next month."

Arrington casts aspersions on the whole ordeal because from Google's side, he doesn't see evidence of the company working closely with Palm on the integration. He also says that because Google doesn't yet offer a real API for Google Voice, Palm is going to have a very difficult time making an app feel as deeply integrated as it ought.

We can't speak to whether or not Palm is working on a Google Voice app (we hope they are), but if we're going to hold some speculative, unreleased Palm-created Google Voice App to a standard, let's at least make that standard realistic.
