Google Talk launched a major release that includes voicemail, file transfer capabilities and it shows what music track you are playing in your client. Just make sure to stop playing Barry Manilow before you call your friends. Google is one of the simplest "no frills" IM/softphone client you will find - which is why some love it and some hate it. You can get the update here and you can read more about it on the GoogleTalk Blog.

Hey Tom, do you have any insight on why Google has not developed PSTN capabilities yet?
Are they slow to this?
Do they want to simply avoid it and remain solely a web service?
Thanks,
Rick
hi, i am convinced that google talk is a really good IM. in addition to that, found this site called gtalkphone.com. now, it allows me to make PC to ordinary phone calls anywhere in the world and vice-versa. check it out! its cool!
