Google Talk for the iPhone now available

A new version of Google Talk is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers to let users not only communicate via Gmail but also keep in touch with quick bits via Talk.

Users need to use Safari on iPhone to get to Google Talk. When you navigate away from the page on your web browser, status is set to unavailable, and the session restarts when you return. So, it’s not as integrated as a downloadable app, but it’ll do for a quick fix.

You can select from a list of the people you talk to the most, search your contacts, and manage multiple conversations.

gPhone watch: gPhone OS, Google apps for iPhone

Google's hedging their bets when it comes to the mobile phone space, and why shouldn't they? First it was reported that the much-hyped gPhone is probably "just" a Google OS for mobiles, and not an actual Google-branded handset. I'm actually not all that disappointed by the news, and it makes sense given Google's platform sorta-neutral way of doing things. A gPhone OS that could be installed on many a branded, locked, or...

Google vs. Iphone?

http://www.themoneytimes.com/article...id-103128.html Complimenting the mobile-devices, for long, with so many mobile-based applications such as Web search, e-mail, mapping and other Web services, the online search giant, Google Inc. is now developing its own mobile phone, according to industry insiders and analysts.
