what happends if you install more applications then there is space for? does it make folders?
By default it won't scroll and you won't be able to access the applications that are located off the screen. So you either need to install the Summerboard application that will modify the home screen to make it scrollable and theme-able or install a launcher application that is basically just an applications type folder.

It still feels quite buggy to me... I tried connecting to MSN and it got stuck.

But it sure looks promising ;)

so guys... from a purely technical standpoint, UI aside, which is the better of the two clients? I feel both MobileChat and Apollo IM are both usable, but would like to settle on whichever one is better currently.

Any thoughts (with reasonable explanations why) ?

mobile chat scrolls randomly to the top of every message... its horrible until that bug gets fixed.


I still cant wait to see where BOTH of them go.

I'm sticking with mobilechat. They both have features that the other doesn't so they're about equal. Apollo lacks some of the features I want, and MC has them.
MobileChat needs to have the scrolling fixed and be able to send the message via the return button instead of having to press send.

Can you type in landscape either in MobileChat or Apollo? If not, then that should be a top priority on their next update.

oh well, too bad im not hacking my iphone anymore, its just not worth of to me, but its nice that they are making headway on this program. I hope apple introduces there own IM client for the iPhone. Until then I will just wait and use all the Internet apps. For this that there are.

So, it's great to have .mac support. Congrats to the Apollo developers for being the first. The UI could use a lot of work. My main problem is that the field where you type stuff doesn't expand when you type more than one line (not a hard thing to have caught or to fix, so hopefully they'll fix it soon).

have been testing it all day. It's a really cool app and I can see the future of it. However it is still in develop stage and is not good enough for everyday use. It hanged my iphone twice and it auto quit many times already. And most importantly, it doesn't support Chinese yet!

But I believe that it will get better and better overtime.
