AIM v1.1 | Published by AOL | via App Store | Free | Released: 7-26-08

appstore Update: AIM

What’s New In This Version

Alongside the standard bug-fixing upgrades, AIM v1.1 offers some cool new features that will hopefully boost its average user rating (currently at 2.5 stars). Now you can set sound & vibration preferences for notifications, actually log-off AIM from the My Info Screen, and even ‘blast’ multiple people at once with an AIM or SMS (though you need to sign-up for this feature separately).

Here are the entire details from the iTunes’ page:

  • Send an IM or SMS to multiple people at once with AIM Blast. See http://blast.aim.com to set up Blast for your iPhone.
  • Added the ability to explicitly sign off from the AIM network from the My Info Screen.
  • Notification sound and vibration preferences can be set from the Settings application
  • This version also resolves issues some users had reported with crashes and blank IMs, particularly on the iPhone 3G.
  • See the FAQ at http://mobile.aol.com/iphone/aim for documentation and additional information

    These chatting apps (AIM & Palringo) are a real disappointment. Despite not being able to run in the background, they are buggy and very limited.

    AgileMessenger, we want you. Just don’t charge us $40 for it!

    Why is there no yahoo messenger app for the iPhone? If I knew the server credentials I’m sure I’d be able to do something low end.
