I think the only one that's in the works now is
Ruksun's im2go messenger. Most of my friends use Yahoo IM or AOHell Instant Messenger, so Trillian on my PC is a really great program to have around. I like the way MSN Messenger on the Pocket PC integrates smoothly with the UI -- if Messenger isn't the active application when a new message comes in, for example, it pops up a system notification bubble. ICQ and Yahoo Messenger for Pocket PC don't do that. I don't do much IM on the Pocket PC because text input is cumbersome, but it's nice to have the feature available for short conversations. Now Yahoo is gone on the Pocket PC, which means about 80% of my contacts are now only accessible on my laptop or other PCs.
[rant]As an aside, I'm getting tired of Yahoo in general. Their pages are loaded with pop-up, pop-under, and big intrusive Flash-animated ads that obscure the content of the page until you click the "close" button. I paid for their POP3/forwarding service because I check all my e-mail accounts with Outlook and felt that was a valuable service worth paying for. I dread having to actually go to a Yahoo page, however, because it almost always spawns at least one pop-under ad and the Flash ads are really annoying. The most frustrating are the ones that zoom across the screen while I'm reading something. Why do advertisers think people like stuff like that?[/rant]
