Offline Messages Now if your friends have chat history enabled, you can send them messages even when they're not online. Just enter a message into the chat window as you would normally, and they'll get it the next time they sign into Google Talk. In Gmail, offline messages can be searched and organized -- just like instant messages in their chat history. Learn more

GTalk has many new features since the original release.

File Transfer With this top requested new feature, you can send unlimited files and folders to your friends through Google Talk. There is no restriction on the file type or size and the peer-to-peer transfer is fast and reliable. Learn more

Voicemail If your friends aren't around to answer your call, you can leave them a voicemail message instead. Just record your voice after the "Meep" and your friends will get an email to their Talk contact address with the voicemail attached as an audio file. They can play your message when they check their email and save it for as long as they want. Learn more

Music Status and Music Trends Listening to music while chatting on Google Talk? Now you can let your friends see what you're listening to by selecting "Show current music track" in your status menu. Your status message will change when your song does! You can also choose to contribute your music tastes to Google Music Trends, and check out what Google Talk users are listening to across the world. Learn more

Most of the features are available in other messenger (read Yahoo, MSN Messenger).

Music Status and Music Trends is a straight rip-off from other messenger plug-ins which are available as third party plug-ins, this particular feature is liked by many but not in-built in other messengers, seems Google is listening to what users want, but this is not typical Google style, I have noticed that Google likes to invent, and is known for that, like GMail.

Adios! Keep Googling.
