Instant Messaging: Google talk is providing real-time extensible messaging and supports messaging with any service provider that supports XMPP. Thanks to this, universities, corporations as well as individual users can profit from it.
Product integration: Its integration to Gmail enables users to send instant messages without having to open other software or other tab. Users can also interact with registered Orkut by sending and receiving « scraps ». Google+, also integrated into Gtalk, helps users to look at their Google+ contacts in the contact list.
Mobile devices: Gtalk is compatible with Nokia 5230 Internet Tablet, Windows mobile, iPhone, Blackberry, Sony’s mylo and Android version 2.3.4.
Video calls: It is worth to remember that all calls are free and if you use a headset, the voice quality is certain to be high. But it is always up to configure to use this option or not.
Notifications: This software notifies the user for a new message in Google Mail account and obviously all incoming calls or IM. This is practical when you have to launch another program at the same time.
