Ο λόγος για το BeeJive [iTunes link] το οποίο όπως δείχνουν οι πρώτες εκτιμήσεις έχει όλα τα στοιχεία για να εδραιωθεί ως η κορυφαία IM (instant messaging) εφαρμογή για το iPhone!
BeeJive features:
- 24/7 connectivity! Get notifications via email even if the application is closed (you will need push email for this to work properly)
- Works with AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Jabber, and MySpace IM
- Unicode support for chatting in any language
- Landscape typing supported
- Saves chat history, which you can email
- Send SMS messages through AIM or Yahoo
- Complete management of buddy lists
- Configure alerts, sounds, vibration, etc.
Ο developer έχει δηλώσει πως στις επόμενες version θα προστεθούν emoticons, υποστήριξη group chat αλλά και υποστήριξη hyperlink text!
Το μόνο αρνητικό σημείο στο οποίο και θα σταθούμε είναι η τιμή της εφαρμογής: 12,99€ !!
