Hooray! Google Talk (their instant messaging application using a jabber compatible back-end) has finally released an update that lets you do file transfers to/from other users, as well as leave voicemails if they’re offline (and you have a microphone) and display what music you’re currently listening to in your Google Talk status. The new version is numbered 1.0.0.95, which doesn’t show up unless you really look for it :-)
Only some users have gotten the update with the automatic upgrade feature (they roll out new features a few users at a time generally, and this is no different), but if you want the upgrade now, you can grab it from http://dl.google.com/googletalk/googletalk-setup-testing.exe and start transferring!
There’s a good review of the features (how to use them, how well do they work?) over at BigBlueBall.com.
