Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't find a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, why doesn't the Tab dictionary have android in it? It's missing some weird stuff. Why have Julio and not Julie?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...a google gchat client for Android. I mean, one by google.

It's called Talk.

Has anyone here rented a cellphone or bought a disposal cell phone for use abroad? If so, what company did you use and would you recommend them?

I use Verizon Wireless, and I have read some crazy things about roaming charges with Verizon if you take your phone abroad, so I am wary about doing that.

From everyone I've talked to, AT&T is much better to have if you go abroad.
