Power of Google Talk!

[​IMG]​
Google Talk is the chat app that comes built-in to your Android, and it’s terribly under-used. You can use Google Talk not only to instant message people with other Android smartphones, but also those who use Gmail on their desktop and laptop computers.

What’s really cool is that many of those computer users have microphones and speakers, and with the right plugin can audio chat with you. This is essentially a free way to make voice calls to anyone in the world with a Gmail account - and it’s built in to every Android out there.

What’s more, if your Android Smartphone has a front-facing camera, you can also use Google Talk to make and receive video calls! You can video call with other Android users, or computer users that have a webcam. This comes in particularly useful during the holidays when friends and family may not be able to come together. Unlike other video chatting solutions, Google Talk should work just fine over 3G, 4G, or WiFi.

    I used to have Google Talk desktop application, but then stopped using it because it'd be a huge distraction during my work. I've tried Gtalk app on Android, and it's simple to use. Yet to try a video call over Gtalk. Does video calling work on Wi-Fi?

    Surely it does... But haven't tried it yet, as I don't have an Android phone... 😔

    I use Nokia E5-00, and its video call ready... Same case, no front cam! 😔
