Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Google Talk

I don't always posts about anything related to Technology on my Blog (I keep that for Google+ ) But this time around I am making an exception where I am posting a rant which I made on Google+ here, as this is extremely frustrating for me. I am an Android User Rant Follows: Frustrating new Google Talk in Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 Hoping someone from Google reads this And If I am missing something very obvious here, feel free to bash/corect me I am currently running an Alpha Build of ICS on my HTC Desire.
