Just got my ipad for christmas so im new to it but still loving it. I have a droid so I use gtalk a lot. What is the best gtalk app for the iPad? I don't mind spending a couple bucks but I saw on a different website one was like $15. That's a little too much.

Don't worry about website prices. The only prices that matter are the ones in the App Store [unless you jailbreak]. Go there and search for GTalk or Google Talk.

I can't recommend any, since I don't use the service.

Bumping this back up

I've seen a few GTalk apps in the app store but they all seem to have pretty bad reviews.

Anyone have experience with a good GTalk app?

I use IM+ Pro. It is a rather expensive app at 10 bucks but it includes support for most IM protocols, including GTalk. I like the interface and its ability to convert speech to IMs, often with hilarious results.
