Remember back in the day when using AIM on your PC was all the rage? AOL has finally revamped their AIM for Windows Mobile to give you an experience much like the one you would get on your home computer. AOL has chosen not to give full details of everything that the new version is capable of since the program is still in beta. Their website does indicate however that this new AIM is only available in the U.S. at the moment. I’d expect that the change once they officially launch it.
UPDATE:
I just installed the software on my Touch and things seem to work just as I expected. Once you’re in conversations with people, their buddy icons show up on the side for easy access. I’m not sure how much I’d use this, but since it’s free to send an IM to someone rather than an SMS, there should be a good number of people who will love this software.
