Google’s iPhone app brings most of Google’s many applications under one roof. It refers most features to that application’s mobile web site. Google Talk is one of these applications. Since my wife and I are one of those couples that instant message each from one room to the other, I wanted to test this out on my iPod Touch.
Google Talk on the iPhone
As simple as it is to start up a conversation in Google Talk, it is not very easy to use from an accessibility vantage. The one saving grace is that landscape mode is available of mobile web sites. Otherwise, Talk is just too hard to use. The main stumbling block is the tiny font size. Without zoom, there is way to read this Talk’s minuscule font. Added to the mix is Google’s signature color scheme. While elgant, it is the mix of blue and white does not offer sufficient contrast.
Google Talk is available via the Google Talk mobile web site or through the Google Mobile App for your iPhone, available on the iPhone or in the iTunes App Store. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.
