Google Talk
Talk is Google’s instant messaging and audio and video chat

people who also use Google Talk on another Android device or
phone or on a computer.
Conversation logs are automatically saved to a Chats area in your
Gmail account. This allows you to search a chat log and store
them in your Gmail accounts.
