Now that it appears that Google will indeed launch its video calling service, one wonders if Google will simply open the doors to Android users with this functionality or offer it exclusively to its existing Google Hangouts and Google+ users.
While Google did not provide a timeline for when this offering will arrive, it is clear that Google wants to compete with carriers like Verizon and AT&T who already offer video calling and instant messaging features for their respective phone plans. Google's new product is designed to offer a free video calling option to its Google Hangouts application and its Google+ social platform. Google Voice and Video are the latest buzzwords in mobile technology circles.
