ApolloIM vs. Mobile Chat

[ajl917]

i tried to download apollo last night and it said i needed to install BSD system? I downloaded that through the appinstall, and tried to install apollo again, but it gave me the same error... when i looked at more info for apollo, it said that the project is terminated? is it really? how do I know if the bsd system is installed on my iphone?

BSD is an app that does something. Its like 6.6 MB, but if it works, it should showup as installed.

so when i go to install BSD and i try to install it again it should say i already installed it?

Well you cant uninstall it, but as long as it has been installed once, youre good to go...

Unnecessary pause, is what you did

You spelled you're* incorrectly, but if what you say is true, then I take back my statement. I rely heavily on the BSD Subsystem, so never tried to click it in order to "uninstall" it, however, I did notice it in the list. So, as said, I take back my comment in regards to uninstalling it.

I can admit when I'm wrong.

little question here
what's wrong with yahoo?
I use yahoo almost in everything
when we can get native chat app that has yahoo also
Beejive is pretty good but its web app not native
why Apollo makers could put aim, MSN and many more but not yahoo

Anybody knows why please?
(I'm not a programmer or devloper, just a user)

No idea .. but don't worry .. I'm sure once Apple releases the SDK, that BeeJive will release a native app. It will, however, probably be a pay app.

Why would it be a pay app?

Dear Santa...
I've been really really good this year, so I'd like to have the Apollo app with MobileChat's conversation interface... Apollo lets me log into multiple services at once, so it's the better of the two, but once I start chatting with someone the interface is horrible, the entry box doesn't expand when I type more than one line, the sounds are atrocious, I can't turn off the annoying "popup" notifications of incoming IMs, and the notification badge on the icon frequently reports waiting messages that don't exist and/or fails to clear the badge after I've read everything...

sigh... I don't really care who does it, but someone better do an instant-messaging application the right way, and soon...

Thanks Santa, I'll put a Beer on the mantle for you this year...

BeeJive will be a pay app since their native apps are not free.
As long as they keep the interface (and improve it) I won't mind paying for it.

hey guys. question about mobile chat and msn messenger: anyone having the problem about not seeing ALL the online contacts? i can't even receive messages. i tested it, and it doesnt work properly. Anyone have this problem too?

[dictionary]

Beejive WILL be a pay app. I have a blackberry as well, and trust me, I was one of the original beejive beta testers, when they FIRST started. They claimed that it would be free for us, no matter what. Then slowly started to delete postings where they said it would remain free for us, until one day it started to display licenses. I still bought it when they did turn to pay, because it's a great app, but .. don't be fooled into thinking that every developer will keep their programs free forever. Time and energy goes into developing.

The first couple of native BeeJive versions for the iPhone will probably be free, if they keep in tune with how they did with BlackBerries. Once all features are implemented that users want, and it is stable, they will begin charging. Reason being, I believe, is that we aren't direct connected to one another, but the messages rather go through their server. It's good that way (unless transmitting sensitive information), because if you're signed off, and then signed back on, you can get your offline messages. At any rate .. why'd apollo go under?

There both ok but im waiting for a trillian

Is the Apollo developement definitely canceled now?
I actually hoped for an Update.
Does anyone know if MobileChat developement is still alive?

Apollo development is cancelled? It's so unstable, I didnt even think it started... MobileChat ticks me off so much as well.
I wonder if someone will develop a new, much better app that WORKS WELL,
but we can only hope and pray for the best.

I agree completely. I can't really use Apollo or MobileChat. If I let me phone sit and go to sleep, I stop getting IM's and the IM's I'm sending don't get sent out. The problem is the applications think I'm still logged in. Because my IM's get lost, I can't really trust using the applications very much.

[chido]

I haven't used either but i can vouch for Beejive...the webapp kick booty. If they make it a native app with all the features, i'd be all over it even if they charge.
