“We’ve just released in the US a new version of Google Talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch browsers. In addition to sending your friends Gmail messages from your iPhone, you can now chat with them while you’re on the move, too! In your iPhone browser, just go to www.google.com/talk, sign in and start chatting,” Adam Connors, Software Engineer, Google mobile team repots via The Official Google Mobile Blog.
“That’s it. Google Talk runs entirely in the browser so there’s no need to download or install anything,” Connors reports.
“There are some differences from using Google Talk on your computer. For instance, in order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. When you navigate away to another browser window or application, your status will be changed to “unavailable” and your Google Talk session will be restarted when you return,” Connors reports. “Other than that, we’ve tried to keep the design as faithful to the desktop experience as possible.”
