[quote3724c0323c]Google executives say they plan to unveil on Wednesday a "communications tool" that is potentially a clear step beyond the company's search-related business focus.
While executives would not disclose what the new software tool might be, Google has long been expected to introduce an instant messaging service to compete with services offered by America Online, Yahoo and MSN from Microsoft.[/quote3724c0323c]

According to this arcticle it sounds like it will be more along the lines of Skype.

It is thought the new Google service will also include an internet-based text-messaging component similar to Microsoft’s popular MSN Messenger.
D If it is like skype hopefully it has text messaging too
