If you thought you couldn't use instant messaging on your iPhone or iPod Touch, think again.
Jive Talk has an iPhone/iPod Touch client app called BeeJive. While I don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch to test it on, it appears to be very cool.
Here are a few specs:
- Works with multiple IM networks, multiple accounts per network: AIM®/iChat, MSN®, Yahoo!®, GoogleTalk®, ICQ®, Jabber, and MySpace IM.
- JiveTalk uses your existing data plan: no per-message charges.
- Real-time chats: quick switch between multiple simultaneous chats.
- Customizable chat skins & emoticon support.
- Manage your buddy-list, including add/remove, nicknames, groups, block, approve/deny requests.
- Control your own availability: set auto-away and custom status messages and be invisible.
- Full 128-bit encryption of all over-the-air data transmission.
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, check it out by going directly to the BeeJive page here.
