iPhone users that are at the same time GTalk and/or Jabber fans — or at least have friends that use the mentioned instant messaging clients/services — here’s a piece of good news for you. Thanks to the application called iChabber you can now chat with your GTalk/Jabber buddies on your shiny handset, natively. Sure, you can use some of the web-based solutions, and that’s fine. But honestly I think native is the way to go when it comes to mobile instant messaging clients.
While the application is still far from being completed — there are some usability issues which can get really annoying — the good thing is that iChabber runs in the background allowing you to be in the loop as long as you stay logged in. That’s cool and I guess that will also be the case with Apple’s IM client once it’s released alongside firmware 2.0 in June.
In the meantime, you can download iChabber from here or install it from iSpazio repo in Installer.app.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
