Vocito for GrandCentral

Google has released Vocito, a desktop quick-dialer for its GrandCentral beta. The app simultaneously dials a remote phone and a local phone, connecting them together. Vocito also integrates with Address Book, QuickSilver, Automator and system services, and supports "tel" URLs and AppleScript. Scripting allows functions to be tied to the condition of other apps; iCal, for example, can be set to dial a conference call number when the time of the meeting arrives.

GrandCentral provides a single number that allows the user to answer calls from any phone, or switch devices during a call. Messages can be checked by phone, e-mail or online. Any calls can be recorded and archived, including voice-mail. GrandCentral is currently in an invite-only beta testing stage, but people already participating in the program can now download Vocito.
