gmailがボイス・メール機能を備える?

gmailのコードを分析してgmail for domainsの出現を当てたGarett Rogersによれば,gmailは次にボイス・メールを備えるかもしれない。またgmailとevite.comのインテグレーションを予想しながら,その使い道としてgoogle calendarが出来た場合にはスケジュールをカレンダー・ビューに表示するようなやり方になるという。google calendarの現れる日は近いかもしれない。

A voicemail service will allow people to use Gmail as an answering machine that won't run out of space or need rewinding ― who knows, maybe it will be searchable using speech to text technology. This service will be most useful when Google starts providing full VoIP services, but until then it could be used for missed GTalk calls. Recorded messages will be available for listening through Gmail ― possibly with a flash applet designed to play them like Google Reader's podcast feature.

Maybe this is an indication that Google Calendar is closer to launching than ever. Look for these two additions to Gmail ― they can't be far off.
