In connection with the consolidation of GPS positions due to expanding the field of its application, not long ago the United States security services decided to combat with the dissemination of GPS disablers (devices that block the work of GPS-based devices) for the securing of various services. That idea seemed to be admirable persuading Google to restrict the Web search of GPS blockers, according to Bob Brewin, the main developer of nextgov.com, this idea worked at least for some time. On April, 7 Brewin, who had been investigating the GNSS problems for some time already, of references in his blog, which Google found on request "GPS jammer" (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately connected with the guys from Google. They told him that "The GPS-jammers’ links are in contrast to the company policy, which bans advertising of hacking and some appropriate technology", and that they will eliminate the problem. Indeed, the searching on request "GPS jammer" have no effect in the evening. But on request "GPS jammer" with note "Shopping" Google found three ad links on the GPS-jammers’ sites. And there was a great number of web-sites about such interrupters in other search engines. In Feb, during the conference British expert David Last highlighted how he got 185 thousands links on that request. The amount of GPS-disablers’ sites increased by 50% just in a month. The abridgement of search of the exact phrase "gps jammer" by Google will take away nearly 106000 links – but it is a small relief.
There is some good news - Google Voice is finally available on the iPhone. However, the bad news is that it runs on your iPhone’s browser and not as a native application.

It is recommended to add shortcuts to your home screen for the most important features such as Dialer, Compose SMS, Inbox and Contacts. Something is better than nothing and Google Voice running on the browser is certainly better than no Google Voice on your iPhone.

Yesterday's report from Android tracking site AndroLib that the Android Market had probably surpassed 20,000 apps was heartening for Android users and industry watchers alike. Minor issue!
