Google Talk for Mac OS X soon. (Almost)

There has been a lot of buzz about Google Talk, the Google IM Service, and there has been a lot of fuzz about Google Talk not supporting anything apart of Windows if it comes to it's most interesting feature, the *actual* talking. The client is only available for Windows, and although it uses the jabber protocol and thus allows us Mac users to at least connect to the network using other clients, the lack of the talk-feature is imminent. Enter GAIM 2.0

GAIM is a cross-plattform Instant Messaging Library which has made it into a lot of popular IM Applications like for example Adium. Just recently Google hired the GAIM-Author, Sean, and he just wrote a bit about the upcoming GAIM 2.0:
We've shifted all our efforts to finishing Gaim 2.0.0. Gaim 2.0.0 has a ton of great features, fixes every problem you've ever had with Gaim, makes drastic changes to huge parts of Gaim---especially status, includes three new protocols, and does a bunch of other amazing stuff. We're looking to feature freeze at the end of this month and release a month or so later, so be sure to get on our cases and make sure we get it finished.

And here comes the interesting part:
On a related note, the gaim-vv project—which aimed to offer a framework for voice and video support in Gaim—is being merged back into Gaim proper for hopeful incorporation into Gaim 2.0.0. This will be used to support Google Talk's voice as well as MSN and Yahoo! webcams.

Google Talk coming to your local GAIM Messenger, only a matter of time until Adium supports it; especially now that Google released the source-code and API for the voice part of Google talk
