Default Why is "Google Voice" only available for the iPhone & not forthe iPad?

Who does Google pay?
What is Google planning to do in order to recoup those costs?


Google, like every other US call provider, pays the telephone company
that "delivers" the call to your phone for it. They also get paid for
each call you receive.

They are betting on you getting more calls than you make, and the possibilty
of doing voice recognition to hear keywords so that they can sell you ads.
