gDial Pro hits the App Catalog

Written By: Joseph Crawford

gDial ProIt's not a big secret that gDial pro has been around for a while in the home brew community. What is a bit surprising and actually pleasing is that Palm has allowed it into the App Catalog. I have used the application and like just about everything there is except for the fact that it opens your phones main dialer to actually make the call. I doubt that there is currently any other way for the developer to place the call but I do hope that Palm opens the SDK to allow for this. It would be so nice to be able to just dial your number and have it dial straight in the gDial Pro application.

If you have never used gDial Pro then you need to head over to Google Voice and sign-up for an account. It is still in beta so you will need to wait for the invite from Google. When I registered a month back I only had to wait a few days to be invited but I have heard from others that they had to wait about a week. The only other thing I dislike about the interface is the colors the developer choose to use. It's pretty much all gray-scale, here's to hoping they allow for themes in the future so we can get past the grim look of the user interface as it is by default.
