Very interesting indeed. Depending on the bandwidth needed for reasonable quality, this could be a serious contender to Skype indeed. Skype does a very good job under bad network conditions though, they've been in the business for longer already...
Is the Plugin API open ? I guess not. So unless Google opens up the source code to be integrated and compiled for Maemo, this will be a no-go. Think of similar to Skype Telepathy plugin.
Unless, of course, if it could made to work on top of the current google audio/video plugin in Maemo.
Anyone aware of unused functions in that one ? Eg. setting up a POTS call from the GV server and transcoding it to Google Talk audio, charging to the GV account ?
