Google Voice: Flawed but still awesome | Larry Magid at Large - CNET News: "Google's new Google Voice has a few rough edges but -- for many users -- it could be a life changing experience.

The service, which is a relaunch of GrandCentral that Google bought in 2007, allows you to choose a local number which will simultaneously ring up to six phones such as your cell phone, home phone, office phone and the phone at that vacation home that most of us can only dream about. In addition to forwarding your calls, it also takes voice messages that you can listen to on the web, from a phone or read thanks to a new feature that transcribes voice messages and sends them as email and text messages."
