iPod Touch/iPhone Question

edited December 2007 in All Encompassing Trip
K, so I got the new iPod Touch for my birthday recently and I use its free wi-fi internet. I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to instant message from the iPod Touch or iPhone. MSN won't work and I prefer not to use AIM express. Thanks for the help. :)

    The reason I'm asking is cos I heard there's some website that does support online instant messaging for the iPod Touch and iPhone.

    Edinburgh, eh? Way nifty cool. I have a painting of that place. :D

    I'll try it out, thanks. :)

    And hey, I'm actually jealous. Over here, I'm never able to call the weather "cold". I have friends who don't know what "cold" is. :p

    Scotland's nice. And maybe I'll get to visit there someday. But yes, I'm moving to be with my boyfriend, Rhino Surprise, over there. :p:)

    haha, the lack of gender spcificity on the boards meant i certainly wasn't making a move.

    but rhino..... he's irish, so if it came down to it...... i could take him.:)

    that one is ok...it doesnt work for me that well though. it always kicks me off after a couple ims.

    my friend jailbroke his ipod touch (http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/ipod/touch/hacks/jailbreak/) and downloaded apollo (aim) for the iphone (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2007/08/iphone-apolloim.html) and that worked really well for him. the only problem is if you update your ipod it gets un-jailbroken. but it doesnt take long to just download everything again.

    hope that helped :)
