This morning, reports that Google Voice is headed for Blackberry and Android handsets started making the rounds on the web. Google had previously announced that this was in the works, but provided official confirmation today, in this post.

According to the post: The mobile application makes using Google Voice with your cell phone simpler by letting you place calls and send SMS messages directly from your Google Voice number. You can call from your phone's address book or enter in numbers directly, and your outbound calls will display your Google Voice number as the caller ID. You can also listen to your voicemail and read transcriptions of your messages. As GigaOm points out, some people may be underestimating how far-reaching this could be, with Google standing between users and their carriers.
