Google Talk and iChat

Apple, OSX, Software Add comments

It looks like Google Talk is live!

I’m signed in right now, with these iChat Jabber account settings. I’ve gotten reports that it works for Adium too.

Update: Looks like Google Talk has been officially released. They only have a client for Windows right now, but provide instructions on using Jabber-compatible IM clients on other platforms.

    Hi,

    Yes the type chat works. But does voice work as well between iChat on OSX and Google Talk on WinXp?

    I see many ill-informed posts or misguiding posts from people who are claiming that voice works as well between the two platforms.

    Let me know if you know something.

    Thanks,
    Himanshu
