That's pretty impressive."</em></p><p><object width="600" height="360" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-DzpAg0SdU&ap=&fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-DzpAg0SdU&ap=&fmt=18" /></object></p><p>I tested this on Wednesday afternoon, and it worked great. I thought it was going to depend on either flash or HTML5, but in fact, it uses its own plugin, and it should run in any browser. I tested it in Google Chrome, Safari and Camino, and it worked fine in all three. You can go to <a href="http://www.google.com/chat/voice/" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/chat/voice/</a> to download the plugin. If you want to receive calls in Gmail, you'll have to set it up as a destination in Google Voice. </p>
