Right, so the google guys have been on a roll. As the curtains on the new iPhone 3G get lifted this Friday, we have more reasons to rejoice. There is a new version of GTalk being specifically made for the iPhone. All you need is to go to talk.google.com and sign in, right through the Safari Browser.
Yes, no other downloads required. Chat with your pals on the go, exchange texts etc etc. Read the post on GMail blog on this. The flipside though is, that this is NOT an Always ON Chat Application, and it gets signed out if you were to switch to another browser window, or an app. Hmm, that is bad. But yeah, if you were doing nothing and have a wi-fi in your neigbourhood, or even with the new 3G enabled, GTalk on the iPhone could be a real SMS killer. Probably, we could altogether do away with it in almost a year.
What do the tech-pundits have to say about it?

You do realise that for this to somehow replace SMS for you all of your SMS contacts would have to be sat in front of a desktop computer or laptop, with a google account, signed into google talk 24/7?? Failing that they could all have an iphone and be constantly using Safari solely for GTalk. I’m not holding my breath…

Every one having the same problem regarding hiding or locking text messages on iPhones. Recently I downloaded a program from http://faketexts.com/ and it hides the iPhone SMS button and replaces it with a fake one that you can edit. Basically it doesn’t show all the girls I am talking to.
