This is actually not too new. I have owned one of their devices for quite a while (a couple of years?) and found this recent press release somewhat surprising.
I originally bought the device because of its advertised Google Voice support. It is the only service I have used with the device. Earlier this year they announced that Google would discontinue XMPP support on May 15 and Google Voice would stop working. Almost 4 months later there has been no interruption in service and they are now re-announcing support. Strange...

No complaints from me though!
Turns out this is one of those times procrastination would have been a good thing.
