Google Hangouts for iOS

Google Hangouts for iOS dials up free calls for US, Canada

Google Hangouts are a great way to connect with people without being face-to-face. Now, iOS has picked up on this market and created a Google Hangouts app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch which will allow users to make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls to a Google Voice number, free of charge.

This app will really make a difference in the world of internet calling programs. While users will have to pay for calls outside of the US and Canada, calls within those locations will not use cell phone minutes (it will, however, use data, but on WiFi should be fine).

Like Skype, the Google Hangouts app will allow users to have meetings or talk in a digital "face-to-face" format. In the corporate world, for people who use iPads or other iOS devices at work, this app could be a way to hold group meetings without actually getting together.

This is another app that will really help the corporate world. Meetings will be made easier for Google users -- and they won't have to pay for the minutes.
