If you were hoping that Google’s (GOOG) upcoming Babel cross-platform messaging service would integrate your Google Voice account, you’re out of luck for at least a little while. According to Droid-Life, Babel will “eventually” support Google Voice as one of its services but is most likely to launch only with support for Google Talk, Google Hangouts and Google Messenger. Droid-Life also says that Babel will likely launch with “synced notifications, cross-platform conversation experiences, a new UI, photo sharing, quick access to live video chats, and on-the-record chat history viewing from anywhere,” making it a truly comprehensive messaging service that will be available on both Android and iOS.
