Trillian Astra (Instant Messaging) for iPhone

Saturday July 7, 2007 7:17 am PDT by Arnold Kim


The Trillian team has been working on an iPhone version of Trillian:

Currently the contact list and message windows are up and running. You can see the status of your contacts they update. You can send and receive messages in real-time, as long as your browser window is open. There is no need to move Windows (what a backward concept! ) around on the phone, as everything is compact and fit tight to the screen. This beauty is completed with a smooth and true-to-the-pixel user interface done right. This interface of Trillian Astra is designed for iPhone; it doesnt just happen to work with it.


Trillian is a popular chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger and IRC. The iPhone version is accepting applications for testing.

Just saw this. All I can say is, finally! Astra looks amazing, just what iPhone needs desperately.

Signed up for the alpha, and cannot wait for this to come out.

Oh yeah baby, that's great! I used to use the original version of Trillian Pro back when I was still a full-time Windows user (eons ago). Nice to see them doing an iPhone-specific version!! :D

Can't they simply implement Google Talk as well?

Google Talk is a must amongst my family and friends, where most of them are gtalk only. Meebo crashes iSafari too often. I guess I will have to wait for a different option.
