Two Web-based IM apps for iPhone
Two new instant messaging Web-based applications for the iPhone have been released. FlickIM is an AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) chat application designed specifically for the iPhone. It features typing status messages, bubble-shaped text boxes and a contact listing. It also sports a sleek grey interface and a specially designed text entry box. iPhoneChatClient uses the IUI interface to closely mim iChat in a sliding list format. Its interface moves relatively quickly, though there aren't great options for holding multiple chats simultaneously and currently there is no buddy icon support.

So say, for example, I have you in my AIM buddy list, but not selected in my Mac Address Book under the AIM setting, then you will not show up in my Flick buddy list.
The beejive site is so kool and it pulled my buddy list right in from AIM. I am chatting with my friends now and it is so kool and I like the interface too.
When using this, I am not using any text messages, right? This is completely free as far as ATT is concerned?
What I'd like to see if someone write an iChat gateway that runs on my Mac at my house, rather than run through a third party's servers.
Beejive DOES allow a .mac login to use AIM.
