Google Talk 
Your DROID is made to operate in the 
Google world, so it makes sense to start 
with the instant messaging app designed 
by Google: Google Talk. 
 
 
Google Talk is an instant messaging client available to anyone with a Gmail or Google 
account. You can also invite contacts to become Google Talk “chat buddies” by 
sending them a Google Talk invite. 
Follow these steps to invite someone to be part of your Google Talk contacts: 
1.  Start Talk from the Home screen. 
2.  Press the Menu button and select Add friend. 
3.  Type in the Send chat invitation window until you see a match with one of your 
contacts (see Figure 10–5). 
4.  Tap Send Invitation to send the invitation.
