When you dial someone with the Voice app, it dials your contact, then dials your real phone, and connects you together – you can’t just dial right out on a computer or non-phone smart device like an iPod touch and use a headset.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a computer it can &amp;quot;dial&amp;quot; GChat, so you don&amp;#x27;t need a &amp;quot;real phone.&amp;quot;  I don&amp;#x27;t own a landline or a cellphone so I would know.&lt;p&gt;But I never knew you could make calls from apps.  I have an iPod Touch 4, so this is going to be awesome.  Now my friends might actually think I&amp;#x27;m normal.</text></comment>

Still separate on my android, but if so, I suppose you might say it could be inevitable..</text></comment>
