Gizmocall.com - Skype Killer 2.0

It has now been close to two weeks since Michael Robertson announced the launch of GizmoCall.com, his latest attempt at a Skype killer. The service allows the making of a free voip call using just a browser via a Flash plugin.

My experience has been awful to the point of unusable, over several calls. This surprised me as I have been using both the Gizmoproject softphone and a SIP handset logged into GizmoProject over several months with no issues.

The danger of course is that GizmoCall will destroy any reputation that the GizmoProject has built and maybe even taint SIP as unreliable and poor quality VOIP, at least in the mind of the masses.

Maybe what we need for mass adoption is a Google buyout of SIPphone.com (the company behind GizmoProject), as Google seems incapable of launching their own SIP service.
