I was just about ready to call this one vaporware. On monday Meebo released their client for iPhone. They had announced this well over a year ago during the iPhone OS 3.0 preview event saying how they needed Push Notifications to do what they really wanted to do. The first time they presented the app for aproval was last week. After using it for a few days I am willing to replace my copy of AIM with it. The colors are very light and it feels inviting to type. The client can save and read your history online, this is what I thought even Trillian was missing (on the mac at least, never tried to play with the iPhone version). My biggest problem with it so far is that it still doesn't have metacontacts. Hopefully that's coming sooner, rather than later. While I've been waiting for this App for a while, it has outdone my expectations. The other mobile IM applications have been put on notice... specially the $10+ dollar ones.
