Google to buy GrandCentral?
Techcrunch is reporting this
Google To Acquire GrandCentral
Google is in acquisition discussions with telephone management startup GrandCentral,
we’ve learned, and we have a high degree of confidence that the deal
has actually been closed. We are trying to nail down the acquisition
price.The basic idea around GrandCentral is “one phone number for all your
phones, for life.” As we change jobs, homes and cell phones, there are
a lot of phone numbers to keep track of, and keeping everyone up to
date with your most recent phone numbers is a real cost. If you use
GrandCentral you can give out a single phone number. What happens when
that person calls that number depends on his/her relationship to you,
and what you are doing at the time.
Just coming back from a holiday weekend, it's the first I've heard of this news and I have a mixed, but mostly not very positive reaction. I'll nose around a bit to see what I can learn and comment further when I know I little more.

I think one named Trevor Baca could have created such a service using the Jaduka API.
