Google Talk for iPhone: It's Not What You Think

 

Google (GOOG) has announced an iPhone version of Google Talk which is simply an iPhone-ized browser-formatted version of the Google’s text chat application. This means you can’t talk over the Interwebs but you can tap out halting messages to your friends on the iPhone’s screen and, thanks to Safari’s tendency to clear pages randomly, you probably won’t enjoy a sustained conversation.

When the App store finally launches expect about 500 VoIP solutions for the iPhone on the first day. Until then, sit back, think of England, and enjoy your browser-based Google Talk while it’s fresh.

This is plagiarism. The exact article was originally published by TechCrunch.

Not plagiarism - we have permission to reprint TechCrunch pieces - notice the TechCrunch logo on the left hand side, under the Author's picture.

I don't know why you would want to reproduce it, it's a poorly written and uninformative article. Seeking Alpha and it's writers are the worst.

Well I enjoyed reading it.

and what exactly is this article trying to tell the reader?? Is the author an iPhone lover or hater, user or watcher, adopter of come July 11th or telling you to leave it on the shelf?? Good Lord, here's an idea...... have a point!

This is the type of article an adolescent might put together.
