Considering that its in beta, we can expect hurdles with this labs edition. But I hope things improve if it is officially released to the public. @ Jeremy- I have tried out the labs edition and it does have problems.

I guess we just have to wait for the next release to see some improvments (I'm sure they will focus on the web based version). Others pros:

- group chat
- reading youtube video directly in gtalk (didn’t test for video.google)
- same for flickr album (didn’t test in picasa)

Others cons:

- no copy/paste (com’on you have to set one variable on flash to activate this dude)
- not so smouth comparing to the first desktop version
- cannot seperate each conversation from the main bloc
- not displaying contacts which you are waiting confirmation of invitation
- cannot rename/block/remove contact from the application (possible on the first desktop version)
- cannot see time of the last sentence
- history have a strange comportment (and for apps user which don’t have a gmail account, you cant access to your contacts or your pasts chats)

I can't PASTE anything into the darn window! I'll often cut and paste URLs into message windows as I chat with folks. That's a main requirement for this user... I'm surprised that I haven't heard other folks complaining about this restriction.
