Sweet! Now, from two perspectives this is interesting. Technically, I bet there's a bunch of possibilities using an API. Google Vice raised a big stir in the business communit when it was first announced. And, I have enjoyed Skype so much...can't wait to see what Google Voice has to offer. Any observations?
Stay tuned!
