GMail + Google Talk (GTalk) for BlackBerry RIM

December 19, 2005

A friend of mine who runs Computer Collector Newsletter forwarded me a link to a software application that runs on the Blackberry RIM to access GMail. I looked around the rest of the site and came across an even better application that lets you access both Gmail and 'Google Talk' from your Blackberry. cool

Their brand new software application, called "GMail + GTalk" is a full-featured email and chat application for BlackBerry devices, designed for the popular Google Mail and Google Talk services.

With GMail+ GTalk you can easily review the correspondence in your Google mail box, compose new mail messages and operate with address books currently having an amusing communication with your buddies via Google Talk service. GMai l+ GTalk works on all phones, which are Blackberry RIM allowing you to use the same Google mail accounts which you operate on your desktop PC. Only one caveat though - as far as I can tell it only works with Google Talk's instant messaging capabilities and not Google Talk's VoIP feature. sad Nevertheless, some will find this application useful. Not sure if the Blackberry really has the processing horsepower to do VoIP anyway. GMail+GTalk retails for $29.95.

The main features include:

Google Talk instant messaging;
Gmail options: mail creation, view and operations;
The application keeps the contact list information on the respective servers.

This is surely something very excited.This is a integration Larry Page was talking about. We are also extreemly overjoyed to witness this. The local mobile application which has been available from around Nov 7 2005 was a prelude to what these guys are planning to do .... and they have just taken it to the next higher level.
