Google Calling

Google just announced the acquisition of GrandCentral, here is the link to the official blog post.
GrandCentral develops solutions for managing voice communications. Its services allow users to integrate all of their existing phone numbers and voice mailboxes into one account, which can be accessed from the web. This is similar to what OneBox now OpenWave was doing. Google will use GrandCentral’s technology to deliver services that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between users.
Here is an explanation of the GrandCentral service GrandCentral offers features that complement the phone services you already use. If you have multiple phone numbers (e.g., home, work, cell), you get one phone number that you can set to ring all, some, or none of your phones, based on who’s calling. This way, your phone number is tied to you, and not your location or job. The service also gives you one central voice mailbox. You can listen to your voicemails online or from any phone, forward them to anybody, add the caller to your address book, block a caller as spam, and a lot more. You can even listen in on voicemail messages from your phone while they are being recorded, or switch a call from your cell phone to your desk phone and back again. All in all, you’ll have a lot more control over your phones.
