Chat with your Gmail contacts on the iPhone
July 9, 2008
Posted by Marc Wilson, Software Engineer, Google mobile team
Last week, we launched a new version of
Google Talk
designed specifically for the iPhone. It works right in your Safari browser, so there's no need to download or install anything -- just go to
talk.google.com
and sign in.*
Because this version of Talk is designed to run in your browser, you'll be automatically signed out of Talk when you navigate to a different browser window or iPhone app. So while it's not a traditional "always-on" instant message client, it's useful for changing your status message on the go or checking in to see if someone's online and sending them a quick chat. It's equally nice for killing time at the airport.
*Google Apps users: visit
http://talkgadget.google.com/a/your-domain.com/talkgadget/m
from your iPhone's browser, but be sure to replace 'your-domain.com' with your actual domain name.
