Google's videophone / O videofone da Google

A Google é danada, incrível e adorável.
Agora, lança para os usuários do Gmail um serviço similar ao Skype.
O Gmail passa a ter um chat com vídeo e voz, tudo, é claro, gratuito.
A tela de vídeo pode ser destacada num pop up, e movida para qualquer canto da tela, ou expandida para o modo de tela inteira.
Para usar o serviço com vídeo, é preciso, claro, ter uma videocamera, que custa baratinho, mas quem não tiver pode usar somente o modo de voz. Tudo acessível por computadores Apple e PCs convencionais.
Google Inc added a voice and video chat feature to its Gmail email service on Tuesday, launching a free Web-based service that competes with the likes of eBay's Skype.
Gmail and Google App subscribers can now choose to speak with friends on a video screen and simultaneously instant message them in a Google Chat box.
The video screen can be popped out of the chat box and moved around a user's computer screen. Users can also change the size of the screen and expand it to full-screen size.
"The idea was to make it quicker and easier to communicate with other people by whatever means is best convenient," said Google spokesman Jason Freidenfelds.
"It's a nice alternative for businesses looking for another way for people to connect," he added. The feature is available for both PC and Apple computer users.
A webcam and small web browser plug-in are required to use the video chat. Users who do not have a webcam will still be able to chat
