As it is google, yes, it will take off. Give people the choice of 
finding firms who sell VOIP systems, evaluating them, looking at the 
features/costs/support or using Google, a name most people know and 
trust (rightly or wrongly), and I reckon that most will chose google.

I'll be at least playing with it, especially as I'm hoping that they 
will integrate it into Android so I'll get it on my G1.
