It looks obvious

I saw a review and some screenshots of the new version of Google Talk and I’m disappointed. I was hoping to see development of the VoIP further into advanced capabilities, such as conference calls Voice Mail and more, or even better - video conferences. But what we are going to get are avatars.

I actually like Google talk interface. It has, like other Google’s product, clean design that focus on quality. I liked the fact that Google didn’t force on me all the little features that my 10 years old niece might like, but gave me a quality IM product. I hope that I’m wrong and that future version of Google Talk will indeed focus on improvement and development of conversations features and not avatars and other unnecessary decoration features.
