Could 2010 be the year of Google VoIP? Perhaps. TMC blogger Tom Keating puts some puzzle pieces together and asks if Google VoIP is coming in 2010. He posits that Google's recently acquired Gizmo5 has a superior client to Google Talk--and might see the original Google Talk phased out and the Gizmo5 software renamed.

Keating digs up some choice Google quotes and a recent eWeek article all pointing to the launch of Google VoIP in 2010. With Gizmo5 Google has SIP-based calling, termination and Skype-like VoIP ready to go. Bradley Horowitz, Google's VP of product management didn't give away everything, but he did say in the eWeek article that Google hopes to free people from all the silos that separate their various forms of telephony in 2010.
