You know you guys can just use textplus for texting. it functions like IM, but works through people’s phones (regardless of whether they’re on an iphone themselves). its really useful–you can create a nicely organized group chat with a bunch of people through their phones.

@shane Push doesn’t work on hacked unlocked phones. They must activate thruu iTunes

Can IM+ keep you connected to the services for > 24 hours? The AIM app doesn't which is a bummer if I forget to open it once a day.

Also wondering if Twitter push is @replies & @dm only?

Nintendo is better than iPhone! I’m going to the video game championships in California. I have to beat Lucas Spartan in the new game for Nintendo, “Super Mario Brothers 3.

can anyone tell me if im+ supports sms-out for aim and yahoo, otherwise i have to get the more expensive beejive instead?

Heres a question, when the update comes out, will I be able to assign custom chat sound notifications? like the MSN sound notification or the AIM one?

I could have sworn that at the OS 3.0 sneek peak they said that you can put whatever sound u want for these push apps...

is there any indication as to how long we will have to wait for apple to approve this? great value at £3.50 but i’m looking forlornly at beejive with it’s push notifications and i’m mumbling “yeah, well, where’s skype??”

@Liam. It had better be an upgrade or I’m going to demand a refund. I bought IM+ because I was promised push. If they now turn around and release that as a separate app there will be trouble.

Question..i have the 3.0 version. Will this 3.1 be a simple update or is it a completely different app?

By: Pippy

Pippy — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:44:21 +0000

I personally think IM+ 3.0 is the better IM chat application for the iphone. Simply because its much cheaper and it supports twitter and Skype, which Beejive does not!

The GUI display is basically the same and the 3.1 upgrade will allow for push notifications; same as Beejive.

I can't see any reasson why people would choose Beejive over IM + 3.0

By: earless puppy

earless puppy — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:51:40 +0000

@icebike you would think the app store would be the first push notification app on 3.0 I wonder why Apple choose not to?

Anyways thanks for the responce...

I am dealing with a issue using AIM with PNS and AIM on PC. It works fine when using the iPhone, but if I happen to be at my computer using AIM, the App doesn’t know it and continues to send notifications as I receive responses on my PC! AIM doesn’t see that I am signed on in two locations, either. What’s the work-around for this? Do I have to go into my settings and disable PNS each time I happen to be on my computer?

I also used IM Fowarding prior to this and that worked fine, automatically determining if I was logged on my PC versus near my phone…PNS is redundant in this instance and less intuitive…am I missing something??

I can live without the twitter option. I was sooo tempted to buy this over beejive just becuase i like the swip page option to jump from different conversations vs the 2 taps in beejive. Both were $9 at the time so i figured the bigger bargin was beejive. Does anyone know if the lite version will support push?

My new Beejive update is working great no Twitter support (meh), but no skype either

Loving the push though

Tweetie, where is your push enabled update? App Store, where is the ESPN app update? I’d love to have those two with push enabled but I am still loving my pushed IMs after the BeeJive update last night!

@Earless:

is the app store a push notification app?

No. And isn't it odd? I remarked about this the other day.

You have to launch the app store app on your phone to see if there are updates.

Is there an App for That?

Maybe AppMiner will add notifications in some future release.

@Liam: You’re welcome. Maybe it’s not being ignored as much as it hasn’t been read by anyone yet that knows the correct answer. Cheers for being a whiner though.

@Cardfan:

Yeah, I hear ya, (and I see your smilie).

But realistically these all-inclusive IM things are pretty cool if you have kids, or family far away, or (in my case) customers overseas.

The cost of a phone call is pretty minimal till you cross a national border, and a call represents an open ended commitment of time by both parties, where as an IM is finite and self limiting.

So these things are not just for those in the meat market any more.

Now Twitter.... Give me another year to warm up to that.

I'm just not sure I need to be part of my daughter's dilemma about which dress to wear, and I'm sure I don't need to fulfill the self agrandizement of some internet swelling-head.

But hey, opinion's change.

Rene: care to chime in on my question above?

By: nondual

nondual — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:53:19 +0000

Rene, does IM+ push also directly open and deep link to the message when the app was not loaded previously and you then wake up the phone from standby? like beejive does perfectly? a video demo of the whole process would be appreciated

Sadly beejive does not support twitter and skype. Truth is, there´s no single perfect option

I tried this app and liked it. The inline browser you sould actually type in a URL was a big selling point for me along with the Twitter implication. But it was too slow for me and the transitions were too blocky and not smooth at all. So I came to Beejive which now has Push and LOVE IT. Fast. But no inline browser or twitter but I am in love with it.

Rene, maybe you should extend your Smackdown theme from last week into this week using IM clients instead of iPhones. We now have 3 competitors looking to be iPhone IM champion.

By: iPhoneMilk

iPhoneMilk — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:54:20 +0000

So i did a test,

With Gmail Chat you can be signed into your PC and also on Beejive at the same time, So i had a friend send me a few IM's to my gmail.

THE EXACT Same time that i saw the message and heard the noise on my PC pop up it showed up on my iPhone.... amazing..

i think if i tried to judge it with a video or something an analyze the milliseconds it would be super super close... it was so close that I could not even tell which one was first or not

Push is amazing.

QUESTION: on a slightly different note, is the app store a push notification app? Will it push notify you of app updates?

By: Liam

Liam — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:22:52 +0000

Is this IM+ Push app likely to be a free version, or cost?

Twitter push is a long time away. My guess is, if anyone gets it first it will be Tapulous via Twinkle since they already have a pretty massive network for the Tap Tap series.

Yeah I’m wondering if the big four twitter apps will ever get some sort of push update. I just want to know there are new tweets with say an amount.

By: Rob

Rob — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:54:07 +0000

is this going to support twitter push ?
