Those are two different versions, the one that is bundled with Gmail UI (DHTML based) and the one the direct link to I had just provided.

Flash based version opens a video player playing YouTube videos and image viewer to view Flickr photos directly inside messaging window – using Flash capabilities to the max!

Unfortunately, VoIP is not supported in Flash based IM, I suspect mainly because of limitations of Flash9, let’s wait untill Flash 10 😉

Personally, I think it’s too visually simple (and I like Google’s approach to interfaces, generally), and I found it very annoying when it connected every time I checked my email. I disabled it some time ago.

IMHO, Google looks sooo much appealing..

They use the similar UI approach to emulate the context menu with a right mouse button click over the arrow button
