Call phones directly from Gmail

Google officially announced lately, though it has been tested since 2009, that the availability of call any phone right within Gmail by using a Google voice account. Seems Google is trying to beat down Skype or any other online call services. It is said;

"People in the U.S. can now call any phone right within Gmail. If you have a Google Voice account (it's free! and open to everyone in the U.S.), you can also receive calls to your Google Voice number right within Gmail. Calls to the U.S. and Canada are free at least until the end of the year, and international rates start at just $0.02 per minute. Google Apps customers won’t see this feature quite yet, but Google Voice and call phones in Gmail are coming soon with the new infrastructure for Google Apps accounts."
