Google Talk Client for Windows Phone

Whilst Windows Phone has Windows Live Messenger and Facebook Chat built in it does leave you disconnected from another major IM network in the form of Google Talk. I think it’s realistic to say that we probably won’t see Google Plus let alone Google Talk functionality included natively in the Windows Phone OS but there are apps that will fill the void for you.

Once such app is Gchat and it does what you would expect compared to the official Google Talk client on an Android device except for video and voice chat. Gchat will also give you the option of setting up push notifications and you’ll get a toast notification on your screen when a new message arrives. It’s fairly simple and will do the job keeping you connected with your Google Talk buddies.

Gchat is free on the Marketplace but there’s also a paid version to thank the developer for their work.
