Are you thinking of Iotum's presence management suite? I think they
were tightly integrating things with Exchange, but have now re-focused
on the Blackberry market.

Wasn't there someone in Ottawa who had a similar business?  They would
assign one phone number to you and it would be forwarded to various phones.

I seem to recall thinking that it was quite cool so maybe Google is hoping
for the same. (note that this service only applies to USA )



Though you would still need a provider whether it's a cell service, land
line etc. to forward this number and voice mail to.



Maybe they'll tie it in with their gmail for a total communication tool.

<Sarcasm> What innovation! </Sarcasm>

 Not only is it a commodity feature on many systems like Asterisk but it's
already been commercialized for years.  (IE Bell's Prime Line).

 50M isn't too much money, maybe they've got infrastructure in place and a
staff to manage it.  Just having that out of the way would get you to market
a year quicker.

 I still can't believe it, Google bought GrandCentral for $50m! For what?
 Certainly not IP...
