Google has released in the US a new version of Google Talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers. In addition to sending gmail messages from an iPhone, you can now chat with them while you’re on the move, too.
From the iPhone browser, go to www.google.com/talk,
sign in and start chatting. Google Talk runs entirely in the
browser so there’s no need to download or install anything.
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.
You can select from a quicklist of the
people you contact most, search your contacts, and manage multiple
conversations.
