iPad, Google Voice and Incoming / Outgoing Calls [Video]

To those who said the iPad was “just a bigger iPhone”, I can now say you were right guys. After watching this video you’ll see how indeed the iPad is a bigger iPhone which lets you even make bigger calls. Yep. Or maybe not.

Thing is, I stumbled upon this video on Youtube of this guy who’s managed to create a pretty straightforward method to use Google Voice on the iPad, call and receive calls even when the screen is locked. You just have to forward your GV number to Gizmo, run the iSip iPhone app on the iPad and insert your Gizmo settings. Also, you can use a bluetooth headset for it.

I think it’s cool, and I’d love to test Google Voice someday myself. Sadly, it’s not available in Italy. Check out the video after the break.
