According to Mark Guibert, a vice president at RIM, a version of Google Talk is in the works and will be available this Spring.

Here’s my favorite part:

The service is integrated with BlackBerry to allow for home screen notifications of new messages, integration of Google Talk instant messages in the BlackBerry Email(TM) inbox and quick access to the BlackBerry Calendar(TM) from Google Talk for meeting scheduling.

Now that will be pretty cool. It would be really great if you have the options for custom alerting that you do with the email, phone calls, and calendar reminders now on the BlackBerry.
