As rumored, Google Talk is now available. They have a Windows-only client, but it’s all Jabber based so you can use any Jabber client. This of course includes the newer versions of iChat.
To set up Google Talk in iChat, go into the Accounts tab in the iChat prefs, click + to add, and enter the following:
Account Type: Jabber
Jabber ID: your Gmail account (ie krails@gmail.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Server: talk.google.com
Description: Google Talk
That’s all there is to it. Add me to your list and give me a ping.
