And so it goes (the continued integration of Google Voice features into Hangouts).  This is likely to be good news (in the long run) as WebRTC is the "replacement" for XMPP, and Obihai has already stated they were integrating WebRTC functionality.

So do I still need an Obi if I can make and receive calls and texts via WIFI on my cellphones for free here at home?

I presume this is an rhetorical question?  Without more details as to your exact situation and requirements, the answer is always "maybe".  And that would be the same answer as before this announcement.

dircom:
Ask yourself if you want to put up with the lower call quality of a cell phone call.
