App of the Moment (iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile)

With instant messaging making a big comeback thanks to the BBM on the Blackberry, many all in one IM clients are popping up all over the place. For the iPhone your best shot is Beejive. It integrates AIM®, iChat®, MobileMe®, MSN®/Windows Live®, Yahoo!®, MySpace, GoogleTalk®, ICQ®, Jabber, and Facebook IM all in this application. You can even send and recieve pictures on some of the clients.

With Push Notification’s availability on the iPhone 3.0 update now you can always be available online. You will either need a wi-fi connection or a data plan, EDGE is more than enough even for sending and recieving images.  Also, the team at Beejive is supposedly developing an add-on for Skype in which you can make VoIP calls.

The screenshots above are of the iPhone version of Beejive. Many commands are integrated such as adding and blocking a buddy, all the status options, disabling emoticons and the option of staying connected all the time as well.  With every one now basically having a smart phone and either logged into Google Talk, MSN, or Facebook, you will have them all in one with this application. Beats BBMing.
