Google’s push into voice calling gets another prop today, as we get news that Google will be installing Google Voice phone boxes in universities and airports. The booths are part of an effort on the part of Google to get people used to using Google Voice, and also to prove the quality of Google Voice calls. From the phone booths, you’ll be able to make domestic and international calls completely for free. The Google Voice phone boxes will be mocked up to look like our own red telephone boxes, and will be appearing from next week.

Apple is rumoured to be taking on new staff and has initiated an intensive training course to prepare them for a “very big new product”. Any new release from Apple is usually worth paying attention to, but what could this one be?
