DISQUS

The chat window in Gmail should have an option in which a user can disable it. At times you don't want to be known by your friends that you're online. It would be very unproductive when your chat box suddenly pops up because a friends wants to chat with you and you can't turn him or her down.

You can sign out of the chat quite easily, but I agree that an "appear
offline" setting of some kind might be handy.

A great round-up of all the speculation and rumours, Mathew.

I'm hoping that these are signs of a larger Presence-aware contact and messaging system ("Jaiku, meet GTalk"!) that'll feed through to a desperately-needed integrated mobile suite for non-iPhones. Probably Android, too.
