you heard it...officially released today....google now has an IM app out called Google Talk..check out the link for a review followed by the second link for the dl....lets see how this sucker flys amidst msn/trillian/yahoo/aol etc. Apparently it can incorporate other ims to. I believe trillian also does this. But msn pretty much dominates the market along the yahoo and aol. This new google thing will have to stand out to be accepted. http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,122297,00.asp This link will take you to googles download site: http://www.google.com/talk/index.html Also, a few planned updates: 1) Support for SIP communication protocol planned 2) Other real-time communication protocols being tested 3) SIP signaling for voice chat planned 4) Speex audio codec planned 5) Google is planning to partner with other IM services to offer chat with other IM services (AOL, IM, Yahoo, Messenger) 6) Google plans federating with Earthlink and Siphone 7) Support for Earthlink's Vling service and Siphone's Gizmo Service planned 8) Linux and MAC OS clients planned
