Palringo Now Available for iPhone: Multi-Client IM FTW!
Folks who've transitioned over from Windows Mobile (or BlackBerry) to the iPhone (or folks who, like me, are dual-wielding) take heed: one of our favorite IM apps from those other platforms has finally made its way into the App Store. It's Palringo (iTunes Link) and it's free. Palringo is an instant messenger app that's able to talk to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, etc. It will also let you send media files (like photos). There is one downside -- you do need to set up a Palringo account to get it all going, but for now at least, if you want multi-client IM, Palringo's your best option.
That's good stuff, but the better stuff is coming: Palringo's custom 'Vocal IM,' which is somewhere between sending audio files and VOIP chat. We're also hoping that Palringo will be able to add background notifications when the iPhone supports it.
I'm downloading now, but I tell ya, I'm excited for this app. Seems like an excellent idea for a lightning review, don't it?

my only question is can you chat with 2 other people at the same time inthe same message (ex.Group Chat)?
Hey! Palringo sounds pretty cool, and we're really excited about a new free app we can offer iPhone users too: Wallstrip fans can now watch our show on their iPhones! It's all thanks to Episodic (episodic.com) and you can find out more here: http://www.wallstrip.com/2008/07/28/the-most-boring-adult-toy-is-now-the-most-exciting/
Just installed it on my first gen iPhone. It crashes all the time. After trying to play with it for about 30 minutes I finally decided to uninstall it.
Downloading it now. Let's see how it goes...
I downloaded it and tried it out and wow it was alot harder to use than any other im program I've ever used and the keyboard wouldn't come up. I tried and tried but I have to agree with Austin, I uninstalled it just now.
I had problems too, but a phone reset did the trick and now I have no problems with it. It's great!
Ive installed the app on my iPhone, reset the device and when i launch I get the pairingo screen. I input my email address and password but then what, who do I initiate the program? Thoughts ...
I have a problem where the usernames are missing on everyone in the chat rooms. I don't know who I'm speaking to.
