The Apple iPhone has dominated the media over the past couple of weeks, and it even seems to have wormed its way into the world of Messenger (despite it being a Microsoft product designed for Windows). The device is sure to change how those bulky, bloated palmtops are designed but that doesn't stop people getting into the inner working of the phone.
Although web messengers such as Meebo have added temporary support for the iPhone (by adding a submit button, rather than relying on a key press), there is one web messenger that is providing full support and is designed specifically for the iPhone.
Trillian Astra, the highly awaited new IM client, will provide an iPhone web messenger. It has been designed to look like other applications on the iPhone. Unfortunately you cannot get your hands on it yet, but it is suspected that alpha testers will receive a build this week.
It just shows how web messengers are evolving, and becoming much more portable. Just a couple of years ago they were rare, difficult to use and lacked in features. Now they have been seriously popular and huge money making scripts.
