If Microsoft build in to this app video conferencing support when the fourth generation iphone is released, this could be a seriously killer app.

How is this app any better than Fring/Nimbuzz/etc that include several IM clients?
Few people I know uses the WLM anyway.
I don't want have desktop room on my dual monitor machine for that and skype and AOL and Twitter, and I don't have room for a separate App on my phone for them either.
Beejive or Im+ Thank you. All in one place.
I'm using Meebo for the time being.
I am a big fan of the ipod and am really looking for the new models coming out!
I want to get a new ipad. I think that the ebook stuff looks like it will be really awesome to use.
