Google has just added a pair of nifty Google Voice features into Gmail that you may not have even noticed. The first is an option that integrates text messages sent to Google Voice so that they show up as email messages in Gmail. Text messages are identified as "SMS from (insert name here)," and you can also reply to them from within Gmail. That's pretty groovy if you've ever received a text while sitting at your PC.
The second addition is a new Labs feature that lets users play back Google Voice voicemail messages from within the Gmail viewer. You no longer have to open up a separate browser window to hear the audio.
To turn on the SMS feature, navigate to the Settings tab of Google Voice. For the voicemal player to work, you'll find the option under the Labs tab in Gmail.
