Yahoo! Messenger Now Available in App Store

Working nicely. For those in other countries that this application is not showing up in. You can set up another itunes account , not put any cc information on the form and then you should be good to go, meaning that your country will not show up, thus giving you the ability to download the application.
This trick was adopted by the ones that couldnt download skype living in Canada...
Hope that helps

I have been playing with this app quite a bit today.

Here is what I have found:

1) Unlike Beejive, there is no way of receiving IMs once you close the application.

2) Like Beejive, after you close the application, your friends will still see you as "online" when in reality, you aren't, because you aren't getting your IMs unless you re-open the application.

They need to incorporate the IM to Email feature like Beejive has. This feature is awesome because you can then put in your phone-number@txt.att.net and Beejive will SMS you when you get an IM even when the application is closed.

I noticed this too on OneConnect. That's why I stopped using it.

They certainly have the technology to fix this. On my desktop Yahoo Messenger, there is an option to switch to mobile mode (communicate via SMS) when you sign off or quit the application. All they have to do for the iPhone is switch to your registered SMS device as the app is closing down...

is it just me or is Yahoo dead... maybe its the lack of POP3 and the 200 chat clients that feature Yahoo messaging..

That's what I was thinking. But choice is always good.
