Google Talk / Chat - File Transfer

Google introduce file transfer feature in Google Talk/Chat today. You can send a file to the person you are chatting. This feature ONLY available for igoogle and orkut as well as Google Talk downloadable software.

I tried it on igoogle, and here is how it works. Click the 'Actions' on the chat box of the person you want to send the file to, then 'Send a file...' . The recipient has a choice to accept or decline the file transfer.

However since this feature is not currently available for Google Chat in Gmail, both sender and receiver require to use igoogle, orkut or Google Talk in order to transfer file successfully. Till then, too bad it won't be that useful for me as most of us including myself only use Google Chat in Gmail.
