Google Allo's desktop client is in the works (engadget.com)

With the convoluted situation that is Google's plethora of mildly supported or unsupported messaging apps, will this improve things or just make them worse? Based on track record, I feel that the latter is more likely. Yah, a desktop client for Allo will be nice, but there is no mention of SMS integration, which is what's lacking most with the app. sigh
