I had a similar question.  I want to send a text message from my PC to
a cell phone.  Can I do that?

I am using Gmail and Google Talk services. My user name is in this
format: xxxxxx.yyyyyy, but sometimes i give my gmail address in this
format: [e-posti aadress] and that works great. Problem is that i
say to peapole how i'm using gtalk, but they can't contact me since
Google Talk does not accept alternative format like gmail... it would
be really usefull if this would be implemented.
Thanks

Hi All,
I am trying to get the gadget version of google talk going on my Linux
machine.

I get all my contacts showing up, but when I try to call a contact
that shows "available" the telephone "call" icon won't select.

I think I have the flash player correctly installed ... it is
installed in /usr/lib/firefox
there seems to be a libflashplayer.so in the plugins directory in that
path, however I
can't verify that firefox has detected it (ie there is no plugins help
menu option) .... can this be the problem?

Thanks for any help.

Actually I have found I can press the "call" icon on another contact.
However, when I try to call I get a message
saying that I need to download the client .... huh? .... what gives? I
thought the whole idea about the gadget was to be platform
independent, well at least that is what the blurb on it says, I guess
they lie ......

Howcome there is no support for WebCam also, as in the other Instant
Messengers?

Will there be this feature coming soon to GoogleTalk?

V Bad we need to use other IM

I really want the functions such as group chat in the client,  but not
only for Google Talk Gadget.

Does google want to give up the development of gtalk client?

I have been wondering same thing.
Is Google going to drop Google Client? I sure hope not. I have been
also waiting group chat for ages.

Same thing here ;-(
I'm waiting for so long...

But I think the development is dead. ;-(

I said it here : http://groups.google.com/group/About-Google-Talk/browse_thread/thread...

I think that all this choices have some problems. I have been waiting
for the GTalk donwloadable version to reach a certain set of features
for a lot of time now, but it doesn't even have the features already
included in Google Talk Gadget (emoticons, multiple conversations,
etc), which appeared much latter. Why is that *choice* falling behind
so much? Several months ago I thought about ditching both MSN
messenger and Skype because GTalk was much more lightweight, but there
where 2 functionalities missing:

- Chat with multiple recipients.
- Voice conversation with multiple recipients.

I have been waiting for months (Since Gtalk first appeared), but now I
´m unsure that work in the application is even being done. Can
somebody tell me if I should have any hope for this? Is all
development being done in web versions?
