Video chat has been available for quite some time now via AIM. However, as more and more services move inside the browser, I guess it was only a matter of time until Google integrated it right into the Gmail/GTalk system.
I don't even have a web-cam to try it out, but certain family members have asked me about video chatting and it looks like this would be a very easy, free way to accomplish it. Not to mention that it's run by Google, so it'll probably work quite well.
On a side note, does anyone else remember when AOL Quick Buddy / AIM Express first came along and allowed you to chat with just a web browser? Impressive how far we've come since then...

I'll have to check it out. Wendy and I have been using Yahoo Messenger to video chat and it is pretty mediocre. I'll let you know how Google's one compares.
