There's no official word on this yet, but the inimitable Michael Arrington says that Google's up and purchased VoIP company Gizmo5 for "around $30 million in cash." You know, pocket change for the crew in Mountain View. The deal would presumably bring Gizmo's SIP-based VoIP talents to Google Voice, taking it from quirky phone-management service to complete end-to-end calling solution, and instantly catapulting it into direct competition with Skype. Heavy stuff -- we'll see if Google or Gizmo5 confirms Mssr. Arrington's report sometime soon.
i love google.
Google Voice and Google Docs are wonderful.
I do not use Google talkchat whatever.
Google voice is wonderful. This is actually good news. I want to give up my Vonage. Once my yearly contract runs out, I am tossing them aside. They were good for a few years but they spend their money on marketing not improving services.
if you dont use any google apps, your a noob
Google's the "SKYNET". I kid you not.
Whoa, this is getting interesting. All Google need is number portability, so people can keep their own numbers.
They already have that, it was just announced like last week.
Soon Google = Buy n Large.
I lol'd
Dear Engadget.
In case you didn't know, Gizmo is owned by Nokia.
Nokia is using Gizmo for their voIP calling.
Highly unlikely Nokia will sell it to Google.
First Admob and now this?!
