Recent nexus 7 purchaser (~ 1 week) here, previously disenchanted with android, who therefore reverted to a Nokia N900 but is now considering using the nexus 7 in the real life on a daily basis.
There are many great points in the article (and BTW I purchased the same cover - it has a magnet to turn the screen off when it closes and works a bit like an ipad cover) but there are some weird points. Well, a big one : no software phone by default.
Why should we need grooveip?
I have various SIP accounts, and on my laptop, I can use google voice to send call from the browser. I just wish the Nexus 7 had something better than "click to call" (to another device)
(and I wish it was possible to connect by SIP to google voice)
Just put some cash on your account and you can also send call.
The form factor is not really a problem - you just use the nexus 7 'differently'.
- detst 14y ago> (and I wish it was possible to connect by SIP to google voice) There was a time when you could connect Google Voice to Gizmo5 (SIP) but then Google bought them and disabled that functionality.

- silasb 14y agoI ended up using Yate with a hard phone to achieve this. It works mostly, but far from trouble free.
- brownbat 14y agoWait, why hasn't someone made a kit for this and offered people free home phone service without a monthly fee?
- justincormack 14y agoThere are lots of SIP phone services. I use sipgate which covers many countries and have an old VoIP phone or use my mobile.
