GTalk Privacy Update

[-TD-]

You can delete your contacts information, saved chat histories, or voicemails stored in your Gmail account by deleting them through Gmail or by deleting your Gmail account from the Google Accounts page. Because of the way we maintain this service, such deletion may not be immediate, and residual copies may remain in our offline backup systems. For more information about Gmail, please see the Gmail Help Center and Privacy Notice.

This looks quite good, especially the voicemail bit, so it looks like we will be getting an update for GTalk soon'ish, and not a bug fixing update. Exciting time
