As other instant messenger services fade into the background (sorry, AIM!), Google Talk takes on a large share of users, thanks to ubiquity of Gmail. But as more users spend time on their iPhones, staying connected to Gtalk there becomes a priority.
We rounded up five third-party apps that run Google Talk really well for iPhone. All of them have several features people have come to expect from desktop clients, and they integrate smoothly into the mobile experience so you can keep chatting while you're on the go. We found it was most important for an application to notify you about new messages via push notifications. Each of these apps has a variety of unique features, so you can click through the slides to pick which is best for you.
As a bonus, all of these apps will work with other chat protocols as well, so you'll also be able to use Facebook, AIM, Yahoo or other messengers on your iPhone.
See any cool apps we missed? Please be sure to let us know in the comments.
