Google Talk and Mac OS X iChat

Google Tlak on Mac OS X
I was little disappointed today when Google launched it's new Instant Messaging and free Talk service. The client program only works on Windows. Considering that Google itself is a fan of Apple computers you have to wonder why they would not have a client for Mac OS X.

The one saving grace is that if you have Mac OS X Tiger installed you can configure iChat to IM with people using the new Google Talk client. But you're out of luck if you want to use Talk feature.

Since I use Vonage for Voice Over IP (VOIP) and am happy with the service I don't think Google's new offering would interest me anyway.
