Let's Discuss Instant Messaging on the Treo
The front page has a new article I just finished comparing Verichat, Chatopus and IM+. With so many IM applications available, what are you using? And what drew you to that particular application?
Mobi·gas·mic!

I use Chatopus with MSN and Google talk. I sign in to Yahoo via text messaging so I dont get play with that one.
I wish that GTalk could be used in the background though, I'd love to be logged in on it all the time, that way I could keep up with the many folks in the palm universe that use Gtalk.

Thanks, Antoine!
What do you mean about GTalk? I've never used it, but how does it disconnect you? Chatopus runs in the background, so shouldn't Gtalk also?

No. Google Talk requires that SSL be enabled in order to chat. Due to the nature of teh PalmOS SSL library, it cannot maintain the connection with the secure server unless Chatopus is the active app. This is most definitely a limitation of OS5/Garnet and was one of the bigger reasons that I have wanted to see an OS6/Cobalt PalmPDA.

I use Chatopus, thanks to Lulu. But not often, since its a battery vampire.
Other than that, it works great.

ChatterEmail also requires SSL for background retriving. Got the MatrixSSL and it works fine. Not sure if this will help.

Any solutions for the @mac.com AIM issue?
According to several threads the Treo650 has a problem recognizing the "@" sign so any @mac.com account does not work when used on Verichat or any other messenger.
Have anyone found a way around it?
Thanks

Is this a seperate download from ChatterEmail, or a download from somewhere else. I would love this functionality seeing that the holidays are here and many I want to keep IMing while at teh table eating and talkign turkey :dry:

Any reason Mundu wasn't included? That's what I use.
