IM iPhone ?

[uxbod]

Has anybody found a official iPhone IM client that support XMPP ? Would be great to be able to connect the iPhone to the IM within ZCS. Closest thing found so far is Agile Mobile - MSN, ICQ, AOL, AIM, Google Talk & Yahoo! Messenger for your Apple iPhone but that would require using installer.app.

Hmmm.

Check this one (available through AppStore) : MobileChat

Thanks Klug ... Looks interesting, though it is a pity that it appears to use a proxy service. This bit concerns me

Oh sorry, I did not notice that.

Are they part of Google (the EULA from Chrome looks a bit like this) ?

At least Google have now changed that bit Google restores Chrome's shine | The Register

If I jam Jabber into the search field of the iTunes Store, I get 3 apps:

- (SHAPE's) IM+ (I remember this one from Palm)
- (Palringo's) Palringo
- (twenty08's) MobileChat

I have not messed with any of these as they seem pointless without some sort of backround agent or push notification. Plus some maturity would be nice. Let us know how you fare, otherwise I will try something out when I feel like crapping up my iPhone with another app ;-) and post here.
