Google Talk for the iPhone
Author: Gen, Category: Apple
GTalk (Google Talk) is now available for the iPhone.
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. That’s it. Google Talk runs entirely in the browser so there’s no need to download or install anything. {source}
If the iPhone is supposed to be sporting a full-featured and real web browser in the name of Safari, it’s supposed to be able to do anything a regular browser can do right?
