Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions? Does voice chat actually work with iChat?

PS: I'm my username @ gmail.com, if you feel like playing around with the service. And if anyone wants a gmail invitation, please ask.

looks interesting i'll have to give it a try, pitty i don't have a mic for my mac yet, but it looks like it will work with text so i'll give it a go.

:edit: oh i didn't see it was just for pc, hope they bring it out for mac :edit:

I'm surprised. I thought all macs came with mics. iBook, PowerBook, and iMac have built-in, and the last PowerMac G5 I set up had a cheap one in the box. *shrug*

The actual google talk program is interestingly...featureless so far. Although, the interface is nifty.

I'm at ScubaSteve9.0 AT gmail.com if anyone is interested in pestering me
