iPhone AIM/MSN/Yahoo IM/ICQ App?

[greenlander]

Yes, a great idea. I do agree however that it seems more fruitful to work with some of the existing projects out there which already have a backend to work off of. Then it's just a matter of creating an iPhone interface frontend for it.

I can help program it, maybe bandwidth.

This has the potential to be an awesome app! I just wish I could program


EDIT:

So I went to the Developers Site for AIM, and they have some APIs, and SDKs out already for AIM. Check it out here
Hope that helps

Yeah, it looks like he beat you to it. I would look at his code though and try to work off it. It is open source, I dont think he would mind if you just improved it. I was looking through it and got quite lost. Good luck!

Could you not just have something like this? (attachment)

I have a small understanding of coding but nothing too major so i probably wouldn't be too much help..

for the love of GOD please don't ever touch Photoshop EVER EVER EVER EVER again. JESUS, MY EYES. It's like OS X never happened.

good work, but watch the videos more closely. safari's address bar is tied to the top of the page, so if you scroll down it disappears.

I can help with development on the project. PM me if anyone looks into actually doing this.

How about eBuddy

I have heard rumours ebuddy.com is bringing their new chat client to the iPhone early next week. Without banners this time! Their beta is already running in Safari 3, if you muscle your way past their browser detection. That means AIM, MSN and Yahoo chatting on the iPhone!

[billchase2]

this could really turn in to something great. Keep it up guys!

Shapeservices is working on something too. When i emailed them asking if they would be making anything for iphone they said they had something in the works but did not provide details. They are the ones who make IM+ for windows mobile, blackberry, palm, java, and simbian phones. They surely know how to make a web 2.0 app.

Hey, if anyone needs hosting or bandwith for this, let me know. I have plenty of it.

Airkarol - Yes. We need hosting for the iPhoneChat AIM. Chessy999 fixed the limit now it's UNLIMTED. if you can host it and the public can use it it'll be good. we can also use donations.. which is always a good thing.
