Hey all,

I was just trying to get everybody's thoughts on this AIM loophole for the iPhone...

When Stevey boy was on stage hypnotizing the world to buy his new iPhone I was sold upon one major draw back -- no iChat / AIM client....

After some thought I was wondering if utilizing the iPhone's safari browser to access the Meebo.com website was possible....

If you can access the Meebo service then that would be a good enough loop hole for me!

After reading over my previous post I realized I tried to make it sound much harder then necessary --

I'm basically asking if any of you think the iPhone's safari web browser will support the website Meebo.com

I don't see why not.

By all indications (http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/13/ultimate-iphone-faqs-list-part-2/) the iPhone's version of Safari supports javascript, which is all meebo.com requires.

Good point. I bet they would have if it wasn't for the greedy cell carriers making so much money from SMS. Cingular/ATT probably wouldn't like people using something else.
