Answer to Yahoo and MSN Chat integration

GMail Chat has got one more jewel in its crown, its integrated AIM Chat. Now GMail users can chat with their friends having AIM ids, directly from GMail Chat. You can see all your AIM friends in your GMail Chat friends list and they are distinguished by a AIM icon along with the chat user name.

I feel this feature as an answer to integration of Yahoo and MSN chat by Microsoft and Yahoo. But, still Google did not release the desktop chat, GTalk, with these cool features. Or, are they waiting for including all these pretty GMail Chat features in a GTalk version with Video Chat!!!. Lets hope for the best.
