GTalk Support Video Chat For Android OS 2.3+

While there are plenty of video calling applications for Android, a native one that works with other Android devices, like tablets, or over Gmail is awfully useful. After all, you might want to have video calls with friends and family members who don’t own Android devices, but you’ll be able to video chat with them if they’re near a computer and use Gmail.

Sometimes, the expressions on a person’s face can mean much more than what they say. To help you stay in touch with your friends and family, we’re launching Google Talk with video and voice chat for Android phones. You can now video or voice chat with your friends, family and colleagues right from your Android phone, whether they’re on their compatible Android tablet or phone, or using Gmail with Google Talk on their computer. You can make calls over a 3G or 4G data network (if your carrier supports it) or over Wi-Fi.

So, when is the feature coming to your phone? Depending on your software version, maybe never:

Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future. To learn more about using video and voice chat, check out our Help Center.

It might be a bit of a bummer, but many newer devices may end up getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread in the future, so don’t give up hope. Just don’t hold your breath.
