Not a new thing. I've been doing texting from all my devices via Google Voice for many years.

The real news is that this is "Google's ninth messaging service after (deep breath) Google Talk, Google Voice, Buzz, Google+ Messenger, Hangouts, Spaces, Allo, and the Slack-like Hangouts Chat."

... and if you count video chat, ten including Duo.

Pity it doesn't seem to support multiple browsers connected at the same time. Big failure if they're looking to compete with iMessage. Hopefully it's something that will come soon.
