The app functions quite nicely and the push notifications bring a much need upgrade to an instant messenger app.

Badge Appears to show you any missed messages:

Pop Appears for every incoming IM:

The possibilities for push on the iPhone is amazing. The next coming weeks is going to be an exciting time for 3.0 upgraders.

Enjoy!

So i guess the actual question is how? Does the 3.0 Beta Jailbreak work on 3.0 GM? And isn't the them change (grey pop-up) a winterboard thing? I thought winterboard wasn't working with 3.0.

**popdog23** · 06-11-2009, 05:29 AM

Only 6 more days left? No way! Can't wait!
Its like waiting for the betas, but only sooner.

Can't wait to try out meebo, TomTom, and all those other cool games.
And of course, can't wait for a jailbreak.

Aside from being a registered dev, WHAT THE F$&K DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THESE EMAILS. This is the second time I have been left out. Apple is pissing me off

**rahullsk** · 06-11-2009, 07:22 AM

**z3r01** · 06-11-2009, 07:32 AM

**LSZ33** · 06-11-2009, 08:19 AM

Oh man this update is gonna be the shiznit

**capo07** · 06-11-2009, 08:53 AM

Stealth is prolly on Beta 5 still guys......and the beta is still jailbreakable.......

**Bigperm26** · 06-11-2009, 09:16 AM

How can he be on Beta 5 if the App requires 3.0 GM?

**StealthBravo** · 06-11-2009, 09:38 AM

LMFAO!

You guys are hilarious. I should have taken screenshots from my test phone. Sorry the jailbreak won't be available till after the release of the iPhone 3GS.

**rahullsk** · 06-11-2009, 09:52 AM

he is not on beta 5 cause AIM wont sync to beta 5 (according to apple)... you need 3.0 GM ... so dat means he has 3.0 GM jailbroken and he is just not disclosing how he did it....
cmon stealth....

why not stealth....

**KingRedmer** · 06-11-2009, 10:11 AM

If the jailbreak was made public before the official release of 3.0/ 3GS, it might be possible for apple to secure any loophole used for it in the fnal release, undoing all the hard work put into it.

**NeoNightmareX** · 06-11-2009, 10:42 AM

Patience is a virtue that many people lack nowadays. KingRedmer has the right idea.
