I was thrilled to see that Google has rolled out SMS text to the masses via Gmail Labs. This is going to be a big help to me as I coordinate much of my day with family via text message. I even send texts to kids when they are in the same house to come to dinner, get out of bed, etc.
While I’ve definitely become more adept at using my iPhone keyboard, it’ll never approach the convenience of desktop SMS-ing. And the ability to get responses in the same window is fabulous.
With video chat, gmail integration, automatic translation, along with a great mobile and desktop client, Google Talk becoming a really powerful communication tool.
I find myself not even launching Trillian these days.
