Google本月初收購了VoIP公司Gizmo5。然而很快Linux用戶就在論壇反映他們無法下載Linux版客戶端，官方下載頁雖然提供了Windows、Mac、Linux客戶端，但只有前兩者能下載，Linux下載鏈接已經失效（有人發現另一地址還可下載Linux客戶端）。在Google正忙于開發基于linux的操作系統Chrome OS之時，Google卻在其它方面顯示出對linux商業潛力的信心不足。

"Evidence on the Gizmo5 forum (login required) confirms that since Google's takeover of Gizmo5, only the Windows, Mac, and iPhone clients are available for download from the official Web page. The Linux download link no longer works. This is a potential problem for happy Linux users with paid-up credit in their Gizmo5 accounts if they need to reinstall the software. A back-door download is still available, although it is speculated on the forums that it will go away soon. Does this mean that (as with other Google projects such as Google Talk) Linux will be the poor relation for Google Voice also?"
