Windows Live Messenger is continuing the trend of being available to mobile devices as they increase in popularity. The new smartphone market has meant IM on the go is significantly more practical and fun to use and something developers wish to cash in on. Windows Live Messenger is of course, no exception.


Messenger for the Zune HD

This month Microsoft brought Windows Live Messenger to the Zune Marketplace:

Messenger for the Zune HD lets you check out social updates from your friends on Windows Live which includes things they’ve shared from Facebook, Flickr, or MySpace and chat with your friends. It also supports Facebook Chat just like Messenger on your Windows PC does! Special thanks to Mark Relph for the late night test chatting with him on Facebook from Messenger on my Zune HD.



... and to WP7

This time from a third-party, who named their application Messenger by Miyowa. This is avaiable from launch and boasts as many features as most mobile IM applications. A great alternative for those who can't wait for Microsoft to create their own.

Both applications are available on their respective marketplaces.
