The incredibly popular AIM/Y!/MSN/gTalk/ICQ/Jabber chat web app Meebo is now sporting an iPhone-enhanced interface. Just visit Meebo on your iPhone to start using it. Since Apple’s iPhone doesn’t (yet) ship with an iChat-like application, instant messaging mavens have had to rely on third-party web apps and services such as Flick IM and IM+ for Skype to satisfy their needs. Speaking of chat, have you seen the iPhone two-way video conferencing hack? Pretty nifty stuff.
Other companies jumping on the iPhone-friendly bandwagon include Facebook, Media Temple, Digg, Box.net (review), Blue Flavor and a million more.

Why not write article on google and yahoo toolbar u know how much they suck and interfere in browsing expereince,eat bandwidth,and take over your right click context menu etc .i want ur opinion.

Yeah Paul, when will iphone.pstam.com be ready?
Nice article. The video conference is pretty sweet! I’m sure the performance is real bad over EDGE.

Tried out meebo this morning! I’d been using meebo primarily on school computers and/or when I didn’t want to install a client on my Vista machine because of.. well, you know… (maybe you know)
Anyway, meebo, by far, outweighs the others in speed. Both JiveTalk and FlickIM are a tad too slow.
Also. iphone.facebook.com is fast as hell too… Two best, hands-down..

Does anyone know how the charge for IMs works with iPhone? For example, I think T-Mobile treats every IM as one SMS. If iPhone standard plan includes only 250 SMS messages/month, wouldn’t you burn through those quickly using Meebo?

@Andy – Meebo is loaded through MobileSafari and is a web app. As such you are not charged on a per SMS basis, just data traffic with most people (everybody?) having unlimited plans.

I’m not ready for an iPhone yet. Great idea, great functionality, outrageous price point for someone working hard, raising kids, etc. I guess I’ll have to stick with the phone I have now. At least I can call people (they can call me too).

Doesn’t matter how many webapps go iPhone ready- I certainly won’t be getting one till version 2 is out of Apple’s doors. Although it does go to show how much of an impression the iPhone is making online that the big players like Amazon and so on are making iPhone-ready sites.
