Meebo is pretty handy to have on the iphone. But now that windows phone 7 is coming out, i'd like to see them make a version for that as well. I'm getting one as soon as it comes out!

Meebo customer support just replied to me by email. They said it will keep you logged in for 24 hours after you close the app. They are looking into extending that time period.

I love it. the aim is great , the yahoo is good ( except i dont think it can do image transfer ). It's fast and easy.

I actually thought mebo had an app for the iPhone a while back but i guess not.

Using Meebo now. Great UI, fast and stable. Deleting the full-of-ads eBuddy immediately!

Really want this to work for me. I currently use Beejive, but only because Meebo dragged it's feet for so long. I was a long-time Meebo user of their desktop software and loved it! Only real problem I have right now is that I cannot setup my AIM account. Keeps timing out. No AIM = no free SMS. Until that gets fixed I'll stick with Beejive.

PS-I downloaded version 1.1 this AM. Did not resolve my account setup issue. Have not heard back from Meebo support either.

There is one thing Meebo does that the other multiple service IMs cannot, and the reason I love it. Chatting sessions via Meebo on the desktop is completely transferable with the iPhone. So I can be chatting with people on the desktop and just pick up on the iPhone without missing a beat because it has every message sent to and from.

With beejive and im , logging in on the desktop disconnects iPhone service so I constantly have to play the reconnect game. With this all your devices can be charting at the same time.

@Atomic Popcorn: what do you mean? It doesn't take any more battery than other apps. It doesn't run in the background and gets it's notification from the iPhone push system, so it doesn't use any power when it's not open. That is the beautiful thing about push vs backgrounding.

Nice phone you can communicate by using internet but the speed of the connections to the internet is working properly?

I've given it a go around, I'm going to try again later tomorrow. All and all not bad. However, its got nothing on Trillian, which is my current drug of choice. What it really needs is to fix the log in issues, and then maybe it can topple trillian on my home screen. otherwise, not going to happen.

It's nice, it's light, and it integrates well with Meebo in your browser. This is perfect for me and the solution I've been hoping for. Multiple MSN login locations isn't a problem now since I use meebo on my iphone, and meebo off my iphone.

I like that it's faster, since i've only got a 3G still.. I've found push notifications to be a bit dodgy so far, and I think i'd like to be able to turn off the 'feature' of suppressing push notifications when you're logged in through the browser interface too.

I don't need too many more features, but a couple that would be real nice: 1) Favourites list (I hate scrolling through all my contacts for the couple I usually use) 2) Sounds. So far I don't seem to get any sounds, just a vibrate when my phone is NOT set to vibrate. Also sounds should play when I get a message and the app is already running.

Most of all, you can't beat free. I'm done with Beejive for now :)

I downloaded it about a half hour ago and used it while I was on a call. It was alerting me with badges every time the other person sent a message. It worked pretty good as far as I can see. I can't comment on battery drainage since I've only been using it for a short period of time but it seems head and shoulders above many of the other IM's I've used, including Fring.

Anyone know how bad the battery drain is?

Wow. I remember when they announced they were developing a Meebo app when 3.0/push notifications was announced. It's about time lol.

Wow this is great. It starts up very fast. Push is fast. I own BeeJive but the startup speed is horrible. I also wish BeeJive have a longer login expiration. I don't send IMs that often so 7 days doesn't cut it. I am curious how long Meebo stays logged in. I wish it supported multiple locations with MSN. But none of the IM apps suport this that I know of.

I have been using it for a few days now...it's very buggy IMO...I add people but they come up as offline when they're actually online. Also the app crashes a lot as well. Also missing pic/vid sharing which is something a lot of other All-In-One IM clients have. So right now I'm kind of disappointed in Meebo especially after being in awe after their demo last year at the 3.0 OS Preview.

Do you know how long you stay connected after you close the app?

I have had a Meebo account for years and was very happy to see this app. Very nice as already stated - and free. I dropped eBuddy right after I used this the first time. And its free!
