LibJingle - A Bridge to Google Talk

Google released  last month under BSD style license. Today, one month later, it is going to be officially adopted by Psi and Gaim since Sean Egan, the developer of Gaim, are working for Google. As a result, it is possible to see cross application voice call as well as mobile devices and Google Talk. Most of all, P2P applications could make use of Google Talk proposed protocol in innovative ways. Read "" for more details.

As of today, Google Talk is going to be available in BlackBurry. This feature was officially announced today including  by now.

Welcome to the world of VoIP! What I’m waiting for in Google Talk is "send file to my friend". If possible, trust-based sharing files could be the best.

Today, two major advances have been made in the openness of our voice capabilities. This morning, the Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) introduced two new proposed extensions to XMPP, known as Jingle and Jingle Audio. These enhancements describe how to write software compatible with Google Talk’s voice features and have been introduced into the JSF’s standards process where they’ll be reviewed and improved by the XMPP community. To make implementing these extensions even easier, we’ve released a library we call "libjingle."

is the very same code Google Talk uses to negotiate, establish, and maintain peer-to-peer voice sessions, packaged as a library for other developers to use in their own projects. By incorporating Libjingle into your project, you enable its users to voice chat with other users of the Google Talk service.
