Is this the next Skype alternative... Google Talk.

According to the blurb...

If you haven't tried the service yet, here are 5 good reasons to give it a try:

* now anyone can use the service (Gmail accounts no longer required)
* free and crystal clear voice calls to your friends and family anywhere in the world
* transfer files and folders to others
* free voicemail messages (MEEP!)
* IM from your BlackBerry

Just sign up, invite some friends, and you can be chatting with them in minutes. There are millions of people around the world to chat with! There are, however, still some features including chat histories and mail notifications that will only work if you sign into Google Talk with a Gmail account. Either way, we encourage you to give it a try.

Google Talk

Anyone already given this a try and if so was/is it any good.

Do you think it will take off for Google or is it a little to late for the big boy to be dipping his toe in this market?
