"Meebo, developers of the popular web-based Instant Messaging application, have released a native IM app for iPhone and iPod touch users. Prior to the advent of the App Store, Meebo was one of the few iPhone optimized web applications for instant messaging on the first-generation iPhone."

Just came out a day or two ago and is free in the iTunes Store. This includes push notifications, landscape keyboard support, support for over 100 IM networks and searchable chat history. You can also switch between the iphone app and the web-based version since your chats are sync'd between the two. If you do a lot of chatting here is another option for you to try.

"If for some reason you missed out on Beejive's crazy deal on BeejiveIM during Black Friday, you will be happy to know that it has once again been placed on sale for the holidays."

The sale lasts through the holidays, which is up to your interpretation I guess as to when it ends. But if you want a deal on this IM program, that works multiple IM services, such as AIM/iChat, MSN, Yahoo!, GoogleTalk, Facebook IM, ICQ, Jabber, and MySpace IM, now may be the time to buy. It is on sale for $6.99 USD, down from normal pricing of $9.99 USD.
