Google Voice and Gizmo5 integration is far along and TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington is reporting that a desktop app for placing and receiving voice calls from the desktop is being internally tested at Google. I wrote about the Gizmo5 acquisition back in mid-November. I’ve been whining about the Google Voice project but this is a significant development, a potential Skype killer. It is unclear if VOIP to landlines will be free but if anyone could pull that off, it would be Google. Simply slapping up some ads on the interface would probably cover the bills.
P.S. I’d still like to see the ability to port your existing number to Google Voice and voice responses to caller presentation for safer hands-free operation. I suppose I’m not done whining.
