That blog post was an April Fool's Day joke. The developers don't really care about voice/video that much, so there has been very little work towards it.
Actually it seems Pidgin 2.6 has it now for XMPP
Yep, using it now. Works great so far.Quote:

Anyhow, it seems most distros/platforms are now swinging the Empathy/Telepathy route - Gnome, Ubuntu, Moblin etc. are all picking them up and they already support limited video/voice. The Pidgin guys have been holding off on this one for years despite cries for it, even Kopete has had it for MSN for a good while. Maybe it's just too little too late.
