This is what... Google's 9th attempt at a chat app? They still don't get it?

They used to be so close. Talk was great. Could use it in Adium or Pidgin or whatever else. Then they did hangouts and got close to the sms hybridization, then they killed that and it was the end.

So I've heard. Apparently GTalk even worked together with XMPP even. It's astounding to see how Google shits up one thing after another currently.

I don't, because I was too young for that. My first contact with Android was with my 4.0.4 tablet. Weak, but good enough at the time. I had lots of fun with it, but the experience wasnt as kino as it could've been because I didn't really have internet in my house. But when I did have internet when I went to friend's or other family's houses, man I had fun!

Nice, ICS! This was my first smartphone that wasn't a Blackberry. It even had a built-in stylus with a removable flip keyboard to make it a touchscreen-only device. Almost the same as my S23 Ultra...
