Jabber, Inc., the leading commercial provider of XMPP-based presence and messaging solutions, is adding a wireless instant messaging (IM) client suite to its product portfolio, making the company's product suite the pre-eminent offering to bridge mobile and desktop instant messaging users. This month the company is releasing clients for RIM, PocketPC, Smartphone, Symbian and J2ME compatible devices. Jabber, Inc. currently has gateways available for connectivity to WAP and SMS devices."<br /><br />I have to admit that this doesn't hold much personal interest to me, because everyone I know uses MSN Messenger like myself, but I know some people who have no choice but to use a client like Trillian to pull together all their contacts. If Jabber comes out with a Smartphone client to make this process easier, all the better!

There is one ... iMov Messenger is a jabber client for MS Smartphone 2002 & 2003. It is proprietary ($20), but I downloaded it to connect to my corporate servers as well as everywhere else and it runs very well. I am currently a beta tester for the next version.
