"I've been a big fan of Google Voice going way back to the Grand Central days, but one thing has always bothered me: if I get a voicemail notification in my Gmail account, I still have to open up a new browser tab just to play the message back. Today, that minor inconvenience is no more: the Gmail team has added a Google Voice player to Gmail Labs.\nOnce enabled in your Gmail Labs tab, a little player will appear underneath your voicemail notification message and transcript. Neat!\n\nThe player will also show up when forwarding a voicemail to someone else. So if you want to forward your messages directly from your Google Voice inbox to a different Google account (or to a friend), you can do that and play the message within that tab too.\nThe only thing that would make Google Voice and Gmail integration any better would be if the two inboxes had the option of merging. I'd love to see all my starred messages from my Google Voice inbox appear in my regular Gmail inbox.\nStill, even something as simple as in-message playback is a great step for the free call management system that just keeps getting better!\nHow do you use Google Voice?\n(Photo courtesy of DuChamp on Flickr)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
