... and a sneak peek into my forthcoming article on WM-based instant messenger apps ;-)
Yeah, I’m working on another roundup, this time on one of the subjects causing the most confusion with Windows Mobile users: those of instant messenger applications.
You’ll see how superior the built-in Live Messenger client in the new Windows Mobile 6 is / will be (so much for pundits’ calling WM6 just a minor update without sporting ANYTHING really cool!) compared to the old MSN Messenger. The difference between it and the previous version is even bigger than between the two Terminal Server clients in WM6 and in the previous Windows Mobile versions!
You’ll also see a decent comparison between all the three well-known major multi-purpose instant messenger clients and you’ll see how they compare to ALL the available Windows Mobile Internet Relay Chart (IRC) clients and PocketICQ, the stand-alone, very old ICQ client for Windows Mobile.
Finally, I’ll introduce you to the latest, most promising and very dynamically evolving instant messenger client, OcroTalk (http://www.octro.com/), which, while still in beta, is really worth checking out even now (because it’s free now, at least until the end of February! Go get it while you can – for free!)
Now, “only” the heart of the entire roundup, the Comparison & Feature Chart (http://www.winmobiletech.com/022007Messengers/chart.html) is (mostly) ready (with some 130 (!) screenshots linked from there). Still, particularly if you already know how I structure my comparison charts and have also read at least some of my previous IRC client-related articles, you’ll find the chart immensely useful.
And, again, don’t forget to check out OcroTalk (http://www.octro.com/) if you’re into instant messaging on the Pocket PC. You may also want to check out this thread (http://www.ppcgeeks.com/octro-new-im-client-w-voip-support-1-05-on-1-3-07-t1459.html) for more information.
Comments are welcome!
(I plan to finish and publish the article tomorrow. Now, I’m dog-tired and just can’t work further on the article – really need to go out and do some Nordic walking and, then, go to bed. No sauna for today and I can’t swim either because some of my teeth have just been abraded to receive some bridges, which means extreme sensibility to cold water.)
