Google's first misstep? I think we should frame it or something.

I'm hoping that they will develop this further and get in to the video chat and make it kinda like Skype.  Skype is a great communicator.

Ummm...i think free unless you use the actual phone long distance calling feature.  I use it for free and talk to buddies all over the U.S.   It's great and it's crystal clear.  You can hold a conversation with 10 people if you want.
