I don't think you can call land/cell phones (fill the right term here) through Gmail neither regular Skype.

Thank you for the answer. I do find the ability to call from Gmail to phones very attractive and useful.

I wonder if this will ever come out for Maemo or Android.

They don't register new users, existing users cannot change/ add google voice as the outgoing plan. There is no limit on incoming calls.
This is applied only when you have integrated your google voice with your gizmo account.

Ok the icon is there for me now. I was able to call my n900 and home phone. The quality is great and it shows incoming number as 1-700-... which is a US number.

Sorry, I am a bit behind my RSS news, and didn't read the message all the way. Apparently, Google goes nuts once again :D

Now free incoming and outgoing US/Canada calls be made using Google Talk, meaning there won't be a need for Gizmo account.

Not possible, until google releases a plugin for armel.

Ooh and keep in mind that free calls are until the end of the year.
