My Google Voice for iPhone can beat up your Skype for iPhone
Thus far I have been able to resist committing to the whole Google lifestyle, but this might be a game changer, if for no other reason than to turn my kids iPod touches into free phones. Nothing motivates a man like avoiding another phone bill…

when will this be out?!?
doesn’t look like it would work on a touch, it appears to still use the regular phone service to place calls.
I love how nobody understands that google voice is not voip, not the same as skype, and will not replace your phone service.
I’m for it. Bring it on.
the 9to5 article says “Theoretically you could use even Google Voice and Skype together on an iPod touch. ” so maybe you can
Great idea except for the minor detail of iPod Touch’s not having a microphone.
@Doubletough They do make 3rd party mics for the touch. the iphone headset might actually work too…
@Doubletough
I thought the same thing at first, but the new touches actually do have a mic built in.
@jason
It might not be VOIP yet, but who says that’s not to come?
Bye, bye traditional phone companies, I’d like to say we loved you, but I’d be lying.
