Google Talk for iPhone…
It had to happen, and in timely manner for the release of the Second coming of the “Jesus Phone”. Over at the Google Mobile blog we have a new release of Google talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch. It doesn’t involve any downloads or software installs, it all works through the installed browser. I wonder if this was the way the iPhone was actually intended to work, over the air.
The beauty of this app from Google is that it’s dependent on the browser, so it’ll work with the now “He’s not the Messiah, he’s just a naughty boy” first generation iPhone as well.
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.
I appreciate the fact that they’ve tried as much as possible, to keep this as true to the desktop application as they can,Have a look at the Official Google Mobile Blog for more on this.
