Google buys Grand Central?

According to an unconfirmed report on TechCrunch Grand Central may have been acquired by Google. Grand Central is a great application that gives you a single phone number identity and has some cool functionality, such as the ability to move a Skype call to a mobile phone without hanging up. Personally, I wish Google would improve their Google Talk application's feature-set which still lags far behind Skype and other VoIP applications. Integrating Grand Central into Google Talk would certainly compliment the feature-set.

So does this unconfirmed report mean Jangl, Jajah, Jaxtr, Talkplus, or Truphone are ripe for acquisition? The mobile VoIP space seems to be heating up!

It definitely seems to be heating up. Jangl is discretely pulling together another round, which is supposed to include an investment from one of Google's competitors.
