Google Buys Gizmo5 for Google Voice
Looks like Gizmo and Google Voice users have a new service to look forward to. This month, Google acquired Gizmo5 for $30M after negotiations with a Skype merger fell through. It looks like the two services are a great fit for each other’s products. For instance, Google Voice is a great phone identity and VoIP service, but they have no endpoint for calls. Gizmo5 already integrates with Google Voice as a softphone for Google Voice users. This means you can make and receive calls to your Google Voice Number from your PC.
Although there’s no news as to what new product the two companies will release, it looks like Gizmo5 will allow Google Voice and Google Talk to become a single product, giving Skype and traditional phone companies a run for their money.
