Google Talk updated for Apple iPhone

Google has released a new edition of their Google Talk application for the Apple iPhone.

This new edition runs in the Safari web browser on the iPhone (and iPod Touch of course).

One disadvantage of this web based app is that it would shut down whenever the user runs another application on the device.

Google said in a blog post: “In order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. When you navigate away to another browser window or application, your status will be changed to ‘unavailable’ and your Google Talk session will be restarted when you return.”

Considering that the iPhone still lacks an instant messaging application, this new product from Google would be much loved by the users of the device.
