Facebook rolled out free VOIP calling for Android users in the US today. Does anyone know if this can be used on OBi devices like Google Voice is used?

I don't see how.  It's within Facebook, and you can apparently only call your Facebook friends (all of which Facebook of course will track).  The OBi implements Google Voice outside of any app, it signs into a Google Account to make the connection.

Just wondering, thought I would ask just in case it could be used.
