You’ve made it to another wonderful episode of the Android Overload. This is the place where we stash all of the interesting news bits from around the web but for various reasons (some more obvious than others), these didn’t quite make the cut. Before they’re lost forever, we wanted to give you guys one last chance to check ‘em out. Enjoy!

You can easily make free phone calls to any phone number with grooveip. If I remember correctly all you need is Google voice and an internet connection to set it up and make free calls to anywhere from anywhere.
Edit: to anywhere in the US or Canada from anywhere without using minutes as long as you have WiFi. The paid version allows you to use mobile data as well.
Yep. I was going to say the same thing. You can even receive calls on it as well.
Good point, I forgot to mention that.
I liked that Groklaw article. It was very informative. It did seem to lean in Samsung’s favor but didn’t really seem biased.
I thought of an idea kind-of like the WiFi phone trick at XDA. It’s a special case that wraps around the Nexus 7 with a 3G/4G modem included (maybe even a microSD slot as well). With a modified phone app, you could use your Nexus 7 just like an Android smartphone, only much bigger.
