			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.webosboston.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gdial-pro_2009-11-09_203750.jpg" alt="gDial Pro" title="gDial Pro" width="120" height="180" class="floatleft" />It'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 <a href="http://www.palm.com/">Palm</a> 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.</p>
<p>If you have never used gDial Pro then you need to head over to <a href="http://voice.google.com/">Google Voice</a> and sign-up for an account.  It is still in beta so you will need to wait for the invite from <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>.  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.</p>
<p><span id="more-131"></span><br />
There is just one last part that I feel is still a bit clunky and that is when you click the icon in the button bar that has a phone handset in the bubble.  It loads up the login page for <a href="http://voice.google.com/">Google Voice</a> and then requires you to enter your username and password.  I am not sure why they are requiring this because you have to set your username and password in the preferences.  Maybe there is not a way to access this page through the Google API.  All in all this is a well put together applications that functions the best it can.  I look forward to seeing more enhancements over time and will get a detailed review after I have had a chance to use it full-time for a while.</p>
<p>A big thank you goes out to <a href="http://www.palm.com">Palm</a> for allowing this application.  I am sure many others were wondering if it would be allowed after Apple refused to let it into their app store for the iPhone stating that it copied features they currently offered.</p>
