Google released a new version of their chat client Google Talk titled Google Talk Labs Edition. If you want to take it for a test ride you can download it here.
But before you download. Here are my opinions about it after I installed it today.
The looks of the client are somewhat different from it’s predecessors and are pretty much fresh.
The downside is that you cannot send or recieve files using this new GTalk messenger.
A detailed update soon. Keep coming back.
