BeejiveIM with Push
BeejiveIM has been the Swiss Army Knife of IM apps for quite some time. It can connect you to virtually every messaging network out there and sends you push notifications to notify you of new messages for up to seven days after you've closed the app. It offers an insane amount of customization and a slick user interface. It is also noticeably faster to load up initially when comparing to other multi-service clients such as IM+; this is really important for an app that is facilitating "instant" communication. The only notable services missing are Twitter and Skype integration, but there are plenty of other apps that can better deal with those services anyway. $9.99 can be a lot to swallow, but there's no denying that BeeJiveIM is a solid app.
