Google buys VoIP startup Gizmo5?
Google has yet to formally announce the buyout, but many industry watchers think it is a done deal. If true, the acquisition could potentially provide integration across the company's communications tools, like Google Talk and Google Voice, which would result in users being able to make and receive calls to landlines and mobile phones.
It would also see Google compete directly with established VoIP call providers, such as Skype. Besides potentially turning the Google Voice platform into a more robust communications offering, recently leaked documents suggest the company may take the service global shortly.

How would it be to just whip out the old checkbook and write one for 750 million and then another for 30 million just a few days later? |

I guess google voice was just lacking in pc to pc call and they want to include this facility now. as per my thinking that is the reason of plan to buy Gizmo5. if Google buy this then definitely they skype and google is going for compete each other to become no 1 or remain no.1 in voip industry. |
