I would assume that those servers wont be needed anymore once apple integrates the Push service for IM programs?
has anyone sucessfully been able to get a refund through the app store? I'm thinking about trying to get my $3.00 back.
I'm going to try as it's *****, but not sure how to do it? Do you use the "report a problem" button?
Ummm..
Except. Palringo got an update. SO now it is far more polished than mobile chat. You can send pictures with Palringo, you can send "vocal" IM too. As for push, well, it will come in an update, once Apple allows it.

Adium, Adium, where for art thou Adium...
Just a note - I'm never going to pay for any chat application and I think there's a lot of people in the same boat. I'd rather have official AIM, Yahoo and something else running with that push service coming out in a month or so than pay for a chat app.
Not that they shouldn't be rewarded for their excellent coding and work but at the same time it's not worth my money for something I can ultimately get for free.

I think...
Everyone should try out the new Palringo, it is really nice, and they added some new, undocumented updates(like a search bar in the contacts window). Everything has been polished, You can tell from which account the IM buddy is from, you can change your status message. THey also made everything more intuitive, and, if you didn't know something, they give you little "hints" when you start up your account. I am really impressed with the update, and think everyone should give it a new look. "Is Niiiiiiiiiice"

I'm with you. Personally, it's got everything that I think AIM should have. AIM is bound to get at least one update when the introduce push. I wonder if when that comes out the AIM devs will add a few of these other IM features like pictures. I really don't need any other IM services on my phone. I do like having GTalk though, but Palringo does that.

The app has crashed on me several times already, just by doing basic things like scrolling through my buddy list. I have IMed a few people but have yet to receive a reply to test the "sms push" thing. I deleted the conversation and yet there's still a "1" badge on my MC icon.
UPDATE: Just received an IM reply and it txted me to let me know. Cool!

From the developer's website:
While the servers are still slow) due to the fact that each box is handling 1000+ AIM sessions alone); the load has lightened up a bit and we think well be able to restore full service by the end of the night.
Again, we apologize for the downtime and please know that we will be compensating our users in one way or another.
Thank You,

Actually the servers will still be required and I assume any other applications that wish to use Apple's PUSH service will require their own server infrastructure as well as I understand all the Push service allows is for an application to send a notification through their architecture to the phone, the application itself still needs to be running somewhere and I highly doubt that would be within Apple's Push architecture.
Might...
Might be silly, but some people want voice chat, and not use their minutes. I don't know how cool it is, since ts not my thing, but, it seems like a cool little feature. I mean.... A lot of Data, but very limited minutes...

how many of you are completely numb headed? do you not remember palringos shaky launch as well??? no one could even register on their site because it was getting hammered.
calm down and wait a few days. im sure mobilechat will get up to speed soon enough instead of whining and crying about 2.99$.

Yeah....
Yeah, but people have not given Palringo another chance, and instead are being total "MobileChat" fanboys. If MobileChat gets better, I'll give it another try (I mean I already bought it) but for now, Palringo is doing so much better (especially after its update).
