Any Other AIM Apps for iPhone?

[Benjamindaines]

The official AIM application for the iPhone is pretty dismal, are there any other chat apps that have been submitted or are being worked on? I don't want to Jailbreak.

I wish there were. I don't like how this new AIM app signs you off after 5 minutes of inactivity.

I contacted BeeJive (they make a messenger app for Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and a web version for the iPhone) and they confirmed that they are working on an iPhone version, and that beta version would be up in the App store in 4-6 weeks.

That's cool. I really like the AIM app the 2.0 upgrade provided, but granted, there are bugs. Well, I'll just wait until September when, hopefully, they work out all the kinks and allow the application to run in the background. (and stay signed on / show received ims)
