1.0.0.104 ..this came out in 2006 .... they v done some tweaks to their browser version .. but nothing to the gtalk desktop edition?
wat say?..

who uses gtalk... who uses the desktop editon ... (expected responses)

Who uses gtalk anyway? I used it last back in 2009.

Well, I use gtalk..!! I have it installed and it starts automatically and gets signed in on booting

^When I on my PC, the first thing I do is open chrome, and the homepage is gmail.com (already signed in), bingo!

^^lol..!! Mine too..!! But I prefer chatting on gtalk instead in web client.

Well there is no Invisible mode feature in Gtalk.

^But I seriously miss good old yahoo days

There is, in labs edition.

I don't think the desktop client has ever been updated. Google has only concentrated on the browser versions.

^^ they had never updated gTalk. I downloaded it few months ago it's version same as of it was in 2006.

The version is same as that was 6 years ago... since maybe they don't want to create a bloatware like Yahoo Messenger turned out!

Simple and sweet. Can chat. Can see new mail notifications. All that what matters.

(If you want to be invisible, you better log off)!

gtalk has got no competition Vs yahoo msgr.

Use Pidgin?

^^ yes, moved to pidgin since 2 weeks. FB messenger, GTalk and Yahoo! all in one.

(Just that pidgin doesn't notify of new mails.)

pidgin for windows?

I cant live without gtalk. Its pretty simple and low on memory chat client. And I make pc-pc calls on gtalk. Call quality is good and works on low bandwidth also. Unlike skype or yahoo. Gtalk chats are automatically saved in Gmail account so I can read them later. Even can leave offline message to dear ones if they are not online.
And it acts as a file transfer client to share pics and documents with friends instantly.

@bubusam: You nailed all the functionalists of GTalk on its head! Nice!

Pidgin FTW!

Pidgin is my fav. Clean and Fast.
gTALK ...used back in 2007 for long night chat with buddies.

is there gtalk android with voice call?

Yes. But your hardware should support the same too. Like LG P500 doesn't support.
