[Q] IM applications (live messenger and google talk)

---

I wonder if there are IM applications working on Streak.
I am mostly interested in Live Messenger and Google Talk.
Are there any native applications for these networks ?

If not, what are the suggested apps for both IM networks.
I'd prefer to use apps which are officially supported by either the IM network or Dell.

Thanks.

there's tons that work, doubt any are supports or endorsed though.

Personally I settled on nimbus as it does all the networks I use..

well, thanks. But isn't there even any google talk client ?
As Android is google's OS, I'd think we should have Gtalk natively.

And I dislike all-in-one IM clients.

yes there is gtalk..

have a look through the marketplace to find what you need.

Use Fring, this provides both MSN and Gtalk and many more. It also offers free video talks for Fring users.

thanks forthe fring suggestion.
but does it route all IMs through their own server ?
if yes, I don't want that.

I personally use meebo as I haven't had much trouble with it at all. It supports multi client too such as msn, yahoo and aim. I have also used fring it was great as I can video call using skype but now since skype removed there service from fring I haven't used it.

but really, for fring and meebo, can you say that they directly send IM to the original network and not route them over their own proxy ?

Google talk is installed as default
