prowl is good for sms notifications i have a desktop at my house that is always on if you set firefox to start at startup and setup with growl for google voice notifications prowl will alert you when you have a google voice sms.
Yeah i doubt there will be any notifications either, then again it might not have been part of the GV app store version either. Aren't we still waiting on gmail notifications? let alone free text and voicemail notifications. If this had real push notifications it would save 20 bucks a month in text messages, and I would have no problem replacing the native SMS and phone apps with a webapp. I can use GV for everything except maybe free mobile to mobile calls on 1 or 2 numbers that I use the majority of my phone time calling (to avoid massive minutes overages because GV USES ATT minutes on all calls).
GV is somewhat weird, from what I can see from texting is that it just relays your message...I'd like it better if it was more of a VOIP or if it went through your WI-FI connection when it's available.
Atleast it works really good.
Only google can. We can't send out our own invites yet. Just sign up. I did and within a week I got my invite. 2 weeks ago i did not know what Google Voice was. LOL now I have it.
