Apple Should just develo iChat, would make this argumet obsolete.
 
Update - We got messaging working and we have 2 weeks left of work to complete.

So can you post some screens? And soes that mean it will be ready in about two weeks or do you have more work to complete after those two weeks?

Screenshots are coming.

We will finish up the basics in 2 weeks and submit it to the App Store. After that we will work on the more advanced features.
 
i dont get what the big deal of an iPhone BBM-like feature... on the iPhone it would be pointless. The good thing about it with Blackberry is that AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc can instant message each other all day without using actual texts.

iPhones are just AT&T (for now atleast), so i dont see the point.
 
iChat would be a LOT more awesome than this thing.. This way, on the next update, ALL PHONES WOULD HAVE IT.. isnt that what makes BBM "cool" All blackberrys have it.. if its an app your have to add yourself (and if it costs money) its unlikely everyone will have it. just my .02

ichat needs to happen.. soon

Agree about iChat. The BBM part... Not so much.

I want to see Video Chat soon
 
Looking forward to seeing the screen shots.

How does it notify ?

MP

Vibrations. Sounds. Push Notifications.

Basically. No matter what (unless the phone is off or not connected to a network) you will know you got a message almost instantly.
 
Don't know if you've said this already but will we be able to have a group chat with friends?

Excellent question.

This would be considered an advanced feature and will be added on in the near future.
 
This is generally not a good idea.

We have thought this through several times and we feel it is the best way to do things because its easy - simple - non spam. If you feel that you have a reason not to do this method let us know.
 
Screenshots are coming right now.

Still deciding if a website is appropriate.
