Google Talk for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch Browsers
July 4, 2008
Google has made its Google Talk instant-messaging application available for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch browsers. Google Mobile Blog’s team member and mobile software engineer, Adam Connors, explained that in addition to sending Gmail messages from the iPhone, users can now chat with their friends while they are on the move.
According to Connors, in order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. If users decide to navigate to another browser window or application, their status will instantly be changed to “unavailable” and their Google Talk session will be restarted when they return.
Other than that, Connors explains, “we’ve to keep the design as faithful to the desktop experience as possible, so it should be familiar to you.” To use Google Talk for the iPhone, just go to www.google.com/talk, sign in and start chatting. That’s it. Google Talk runs entirely in the browser so there is no need to download or install anything.
