Google crafts web-based Google Talk for iPhone

Google's released a new version of its Google Talk web app that's optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch -- that's right, web app, meaning that they've stayed true to Stevie's original vision of keeping everything within the Safari sandbox. No firmware 2.0, no App Store, and certainly no iPhone 3G needed to take advantage of this one, just a plain ol' iPhone Classique and a willingness to keep Safari open for however long you wish to be available to your Google Talkin' comrades.

Does Safari stay open in the background? I want to be able to leave google talk open like I can on my 8830.

Google already said that they would use both web apps and regular apps awhile back. So I look forward to must of the google apps in the app store

Are you serious?

At work we use gmail and the gchat to communicate... faster then sending emails back and forth.

What about porting google docs while they're at it?
