Nice find.

Although I've never actually called anyone through the program, isn't that just what happens when you make a call?

No.
I used to call sometimes to people abroad (families, friends etc') and i've never seen it.

This pictures suggest that we may be able to call landlines from Google Talk soon. Right now you can only call users Google Talk, and The Gizmo Project I believe.

I wonder if calls are going to be free...

One can hope.

Google deleted that presentation

services.google.com/apps/resou ...
The requested URL was not found on this server.

I think it's internal testing only

Wow! Nice find...

The presentation is back again :

services.google.com/apps/resou ...

would it be possible to call cell phones too?

Not at this current moment.

It will be a revolution if it’s a free service.

I think it will be audio ad-suported Google-style

Perhaps. It would be nice to see how it will differ from Skype or the Gizmo Projects methods.

I remember that the feedback form for Google Talk had PC to phone calling as one of the poll options. Perhaps Google listened?

I'm sure they were always planning on it . . . it's a question of how far they'll go, I guess.
(But also, who the hell wants to use a click-on-number-pad system when you can type in a phone number?)

I'm sure they'll allow you to type the number as well ;)

Official post, Philipp?

DPic: Seconded. I'm sure other blogs will love to speculate on this, too, once it gets out.

DPic / Mysterius: Philipp's only back from vacation today and I've not had chance to put something together for this. Sorry! Other blogs have already been speculating on this anyway.

Nice find, looking forward to trying this version. Features like this can definitely make many current *cough* Skype users switch to Google Talk. I hope we can expect conference calls soon as well.

<<But also, who the hell wants to use a click-on-number-pad system when you can type in a phone number?>>

Maybe the keys have alpha on them for all those places that have memorable phone numbers.... That said... why not just let the user type alpha too.....?

People with Touch Screens/Tablet PCs?

Wasn't the presentation about Google Apps? Will his be something only rolled out to enterprise Google Apps users? Or will this be rolled out to everyone that has a Google account?

Judging from "enter a name or phone number"... I think the dial pad is there for any touch tone neccessities... or a novelty.

Now we just need a Mac client.

I don't think it will be free, but I'm ready to pay
why not Google, if i can pay to skype ;)

With regards to a Mac client; The latest dev build of OS X 10.5 Leopard has a version of iChat that has an account drop-down for Gtalk (rather than just the generic Jabber entry they previously had).

Now this build is only for the IM portion of the Gtalk service, but it seems unlikely that iChat would even offer this unless they were going to have full compatibility with the Gtalk service, so perhaps Jingle support is finally coming to iChat.

Perhaps Google haven't announced this feature yet in deference to Apple keeping things secret for as long as possible. Perhaps we'll see someone from Google up on the stage with Steve Jobs next Monday at the WWDC to announce Gtalk-PSTN connectivity and full Gtalk compatbility in iChat?
