Other than the idiosyncracies of its software keyboard and the slowness of EDGE wireless, the biggest deficiency in the iPhone is its lack of instant messaging capabilities. Apple has been slow to bring out a true iChat client, so third parties have introduced a variety of solutions, none of which have been that great. That might be over with the introduction of mobile chat from
twenty08 (mirror
here), which looks as good as an Apple app and runs twice as nicely. Currently, it only supports AIM protocol, but the developers have GPL’ed the code, so it should get better over time. Get it while it’s hot!
