Vtok Allows Google Video Chatting from Your iPad 2, iPhone
By 
If you like to video chat with your friends, you’re probably quite familiar with Skype, Yahoo!, Apple’s Facetime, and Tango. All of these are very popular applications amongst PC and mobile users.
However, many of my Google Talk (GTalk) friends weren’t able to video chat with me, until a very nice app called Vtolk was released onto the App Store about a month ago. Vtok’s release allowed me to video chat from my iPhone with my GTalk contacts while on business trips. And now, the latest app update allows me to video chat from my iPad 2 as well.
Vtolk’s latest update (v1.3) has made the application compatible with the iPad 2. There are no special tricks required to use the Vtok app. Simply download the app onto your iPad2 or iPhone, and sign in using your Google (gmail) username and password and start calling your GTalk contacts.
The application uses your Google credentials to authenticate you with Google via a secure connection. One thing worth noting is that you will only see the contacts who are online and that are capable of doing video or voice calls with you. But, you can always invite more contacts to use Vtok by using the “Invite Contacts” button below your contact list within the app.
In addition to iPad 2 support, the latest version of the app supports multiple orientations (portrait, landscape) when video calling with Google video chat. You can also switch between the speaker and earpiece during a call.
Vtok works quite well over WiFi and 3G connections. The application supports the iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4th generation iPod Touch.
Vtok can be downloaded now free of charge. It’s a very good download for your iPad 2 and iPhone.
