Google Voice on Android has received a little boost in terms of notification speed. Before that, users would receive notifications of new messages in their inbox within 15 minutes of when they were sent. Now with the latest feature from Google, Inbox synchronization, Android powered devices can be notified of new text messages or voicemail within seconds of receiving new messages in your Google Voice inbox. Google Voice will even automatically disable SMS forwarding to your mobile phone when you go down that path, ensuring that you won’t receive duplicate notifications. The updated application is currently available in the Android Market and is currently only available in the U.S. only.

Trying to figure out a way to get transcribed, web-stored voicemail on your iPhone, but can’t install Google Voice on your iPhone? Well, you could always check out Ribbit, which is a competitor to Google Voice. The Ribbit for iPhone is rather bare, probably as it doesn’t want to run afoul of Apple’s AppStore policies. It’s currently going for free, and it’s certainly worth taking the duration to check out.

Folks who are on O2’s network, have you been experiencing problems with your documents network? Reports are going around that O2 has been suffering from issues with its info network, and a day or so ago, subscribers were unable to use notes on the network, which O2 claimed was related to the issue of IP addresses. Later in the day, Web connections were resumed, but MMS and Visual Voicemail were still problematic. Could that been a similar scenario to AT&T not being about to handle the amount of traffic that the iPhone generates?
