For those asking themselves what’s going on at GrandCentral, the “one number for life” service acquired by Google last year, today Google announces Vocito, a desktop UI for GrandCentral and, this time, for Mac users only.
It’s basically an apple script which integrates into Address Book or the popular launcher Quicksilver. In general, any application which supports the “tel:” URLs can be used with Vocito.
I installed it and as soon as I try to make a call from my Mac Address Book, I’m requested to insert my GrandCentral userid and password. At that point, nothing happened (and no error messages), but it’s probably because I tried to call an italian number… The behavior should be the following: it calls my GC number and the remote number and connect them together.
I’ll check it out again to see how it really works. Finally something new from GrandCentral. You can download it at this link.
