will google talk make a version for the wizard? ppc?
ive heard agile messenger partnered with google talk?
gtalk is more advance with the voice feature..no echo/choppy voice...maybe better than skype?
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.1.11.1 a G1 on T-mobile UK, and have google talk setup fine.
I've just added my Yahoo and MSN contacts
http://www.techlifeweb.com/2006/12/how-to-use-google-talk-and-gmail-with.html (needed to use an different gateway) and everything works fine via gtalk in a web browser and pidgin, but when I try to send a message to an MSN account using google talk on the G1 it just dies when the name is selected from the friends list.
Just tried reverting to 4.0.4 and the behaviour is the same.
Is anyone using the built in gtalk app to send to MSN/Yahoo accounts (or even seeing the same issue)?
Thanks

you can use on pc... not a android phone
As some of you know, you can now place FREE calls to anywhere in the US or Canada using GMail and the "voice and video chat plugin". You can also receive calls from within GMail if you have a GoogleVoice account and you set it up to forward GoogleVoice calls to "Google Chat" as well as your phone(s).
This is awesome! I can now answer calls from GMail instead of my phone. I wish the desktop GoogleTalk app did that so I wouldn't have to always keep a webbrowser page open to GMail, but that is not what this post is about...
I got to thinking: if GMail can place and receive free phone calls, why can't I do that on my phone (or any device with internet)? I downloaded every available webbrowser for Android and tried to surf to GMail, but none of them even loaded the page (???), much less the plugin.
While searching for any possible solution, I learned that the required "voice and video chat plugin" is available for Linux. This fact makes me almost positive that it is somehow possible for someone to develop an Android app that loads that plugin, logs in to GMail (spoofing a desktop browser), and displays the Pop-out dial pad capable of placing and receiving free calls!
Is anyone up to the challenge? This is huge people! FREE phone where ever there is internet. I hope someone can make this happen on Android devices, since it already works perfect on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
EDIT: Lots of info in the SIPdroid thread I found after posting this, but it still would be nice to just make an XMPPdroid app and not have to deal with connecting Jabber to SIP. If my linux PC can make free Google VOIP calls without setting up additional SIP and PBXes accounts, then my Android phone should be able to too.
Great idea! Im sure others are working on it. Im all for free calling wherever there is internet. Not sure if the cell phone carriers ate gonna like it.

I've thought the same, currently I'm using SipDroid>pbxes>sipsorcery>sipgate>GV. Anything a bit simpler would be great. Plus when i try to hook up a friend, at least one of those sites aren't open to the public;gizmo is a simpler setup, hasnt been open since google bought it and has been sitting on it ever since. If I find anything I'll post here
this would be really nice. cell carriers are already ripping us off unnecessarily. this would give us some ways out
PBXes added support for the gtalk trunk recently and their latest sipdroid application can even set that all up for you today. In the end you'll have sipdroid->pbxes->gtalk with direct dialing.
I've been using it for a week or so now and it works better than any other solution I've tried, except for a sipdroid/android bug where a bluetooth disconnect causes the phone to reboot.
i was wondering if we could get qik or fring working properly on our hd2's?
i downloaded fring and the movements where reversed(up was down and down was up) and qik didnt even work. so would there be anyway to get them working for us? thanks!
Try yahoo messenger , tango or skype.
Dont know if anyoine knows this but google talk(pc app) allows free calling to any number in canada and the usa. since everyone has a google account of course already to use android its as simple as opening gmail on your pc, then look for the tab that says talk. it opens a reg phone dialer and away you go. Not restricted to contacts, or nothing. Sorry if its already posted. I use wifi on my laptop and calls are fairly good quality, some static but its free!!
