You Can Send Files, Pictures, & Voice With RIM’s Google Talk Client?
When the hell did this happen? Did I miss a memo? I was messaging my wife tonight and all of a sudden noticed a new menu option in the RIM Google Talk Client. It was titled “Send Media.” I checked multiple times previously and it was never there before.

If you choose file it takes you to the browse file system. Practically the same for pictures thought it adds an option to take a picture from the camera. the problem is that when you take the picture it does not take you back to Google Talk. The last option lets you have walkie talky conversations by sending voice notes back and forth.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot am I the only one who never noticed this before? Please let me know if I am loosing my mind.

I have this option, but had never noticed it before. Pretty neat. Now I gotta find someone to test it with later.
I’m running the newest gtalk on Sprint’s network with App version 4.2.2.196, platform 3.0.0.85 on an 8830. Don’t know if that makes a difference to anyone.

I don’t have this option on My T-Mo 8320 with GTalk 2.0.46 and OS 4.5.0.42. I seem to have the latest OS and GTalk version, yet I don’t have this option. Any explanation?
