Should Skype be worried? Google just invaded its territory with a new service that brings Voice over Internet Protocol to Gmail and links it to the Google Voice app. All this means users can make telephone calls from the Gmail interface.
Gmail users have been chatting through PC microphones and speakers via a service called Google Talk since 2005. But until now Gmail users couldn’t dial into landlines. Both Gmail users had to be sitting behind their computers and signed into Gmail to talk.
“Given that most of us don’t spend all day in front of our computers, we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if you could call people directly on their phones?'” Google Software Engineer Robin Schriebman wrote on the Official Google Blog. “Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.”
