New google talk – Gtalk Labs edition

It has been years since Google Talk beta version of the client application is released and we have not yet found any important Gtalk release after that. In the mean time, Google has built Google Talk Gadget and integrated chat in Gmail, which has more functionality such as emoticons and group chat.

OK, now what’s the story? Google Labs is working on the next version of Google Talk, named Google Talk, Labs Edition. It is only available for PCs running Windows XP/ Vista, in English.

It has the same great features as the Google Talk Gadget, including instant messaging, emoticons, and group chat. The new version also have desktop notifications from Google Calendar, Orkut, and Gmail.

Google Talk, Labs Edition is an experimental release.The current Lab Edition edition has a few known issues, including voice calls and file transfers not functioning, and duplicate chats show up while chatting from within Gmail while Labs Edition is running.

So do not just jump on to using Google Talk Lab Edition. You can have both the current stable version of Google Talk and Lab Edition installed and accessed on the same desktop. So try Lab Edition when you feel so, and send your feedback to Google.

GMDESK – Your google interface of gmail,docs,gtalk on desktop.

GMDesk is a Adobe AIR based application that lets you run Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Maps as a stand-alone application to do all your mail , calendar, Docs, Maps, Reader etc. The best advantage of this application is that you dont have to open websites to access these services. GMDesk offers an easy menu as well as keyboard shortcuts to switch between different Google services, and you can specify what default service you want the application to start with.

Another good feature of GMDesk is that it supports Google Apps account as well. This can be selected from the option. You have the option to select regular Google account or Google Apps account. You can also select the start up service from the preferences list. Apart from this there is option to run the application in full screen.

GMDesk is a good start up application, but there are few things to improve as well. The fonts in the application is bit on smaller side and this makes less readable. Further you can access only one application at a time, this means if you are using Gmail, you will need to close it to open Docs or Calendar. Another aspect to improve is the memory consumption of GMDesk which is again on a higher side.

NOTE : Adobe AIR runtime is required to install and run GMDesk.
