Meebo IM Client for iPhone

Wednesday August 15, 2007 10:03 pm PDT by Arnold Kim


Meebo has launched their web-based instant messaging client for the iPhone tonight. iPhone users can simply browse to Meebo.com and will automatically be directed to the iPhone-formatted site.

The instant messaging client appears to work very well on the iPhone interface.

Web-based instant messaging clients have gained a lot of interest due to the iPhone's lack of a native instant messaging client. Another notable web IM client comes from Mundu.com at http://iphone.mundu.com which is also well optimized for the iPhone.

agreed, this app just feels and looks like the best atm. Check this out guys its very nice. Only thing it needs is a couple more sorting list options.

This is a good week for us iPhone users. Yesterday Facebook, today Meebo. Tomorrow ringtones for PPC Macs?

I have to admit, in the past few years I've all but lost the desire to IM, but it's definitely still nice to see it availible for the iPhone. I'm especially glad it's 3rd party so it won't use up my txt messages.

I am so happy. :D I have been waiting with baited breath...This is great! I love that I still have chat logs (which come in handy if there's a network interruption or a problem) and I think moving the active conversations to the top was a great idea. Yay Meebo!

Anyone use this much? How does battery life compare. Jivetalk drank my battery like free beer at last call, probably due to the constant polling.

First off... I think that this looks absolutely great... Really! What I hate is that, unless you're on wifi you wont be receiving any calls, texts or voicemails while surfing the web or checking for new mail...

Thus, I've changed my mail so that it only checks manually, and I really only want to use this app when I'm on wifi. ERR

I'll have to check this out, but as it is, JiveTalk is working perfectly well for me, and, like others, I would MUCH prefer an actual dedicated app.

i go to the site, log in, looks great. I try to message someone and it shut the safari down. I have tried it with wifi on and with it off. Still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

So does Meebo for the iphone utilize your text messages?? I only have 200 SMS so I dont want to waste them on IM.
