Video would be nice.
Video for business has a different target than video for consumers. Using the Cisco term, TelePresence is where it is at for businesses. And that requires a (much) more expensive solution (much bigger screens, better cameras), making the price point somewhat higher. I would expect that if this device takes off, OBiHai might expand to the TelePresence market, but starting smaller/cheaper is not an unreasonable choice.

We always did telepresence in the conference room on a big screen or used our computer screens at our desks. I'm not sure if the feature is a big selling point on small screens. Obi could easily roll out an Obitalk Video app that would allow video on the PC and audio routed through the PC, the IP phone, or both simultaneously.

The reason I mentioned it, whether you like Android IP phones or not, well they have that capability (camera and screen) at a price $50 less. The Grandstream GXV3240 is an example. No direct Google Voice support but they work with Skype, GrooveIP and all the other Android apps you can get at the Playstore and use on a phone. In fact, you could load ObiApp on one and connect to the Obi you have now. You can even load CSIPSimple on them which is kind of redundant but if you like the flexibility of CSIPSimple like I do, it's nice to have as an option.
The one downside (and this could be a big one/deal breaker) of Android based desk phones is the inherent security risk Android devices present within the corporate network. Plus they are a maintenance and update headache that most IT staff don't have to deal with now.
