Google Voice app gDial Pro updates for WebOS

Back in September, we tested out a Google Voice app for Palm WebOS phones called gDial Pro. The free gDial Pro just recently updated to version 0.8.9, and is available now in Palm's App Catalog. While gDial Pro still isn't quite as integrated into the Palm Pre as Google's native Google Voice app is for Google's own Android platform, it remains a good option for Google Voice users on Palm's comeback platform.
In addition to fixing some dialing bugs, the developer made a ton of other user interface adjustments, including changing the wording in the Preferences screen to make gDial Pro a little easier for new users to set up. Web dialing, the smoother dialing option of the two, is presented as the default in an expandable, advanced-features window.
Other notable additions include now being able to dial a number in the same U.S. area code without having to dial the area code. gDial Pro will also now alert you to new voicemails. Importantly, you can also listen to voicemail messages from within gDial Pro without first calling out to Google Voice.

They need a more compelling hardware lineup. Something on the level of the Droid.
My money is now on Droid/Android. Better hardware and more choices.

- current Blackberry user on the Sprint network. I'm really considering this phone after looking at the Pre. I never looked the design of the Pre but the Pixi seems more comfortable to me. I'm especially interested since there is an GV app for it. Even though it's unofficial It's worth trying. Glad I waited for the Pixi.
