June 20 2008 at 9:57 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAIM is making an official app. they announced that when the SDK was first revealed.
mobilechat from twenty08 will support multiple clients and seem very promising but i dont know if it will be free.
Do developers have access to the mic on iPhone? (i assume they do as Steve said voip would work on WiFi). If so, does anyone know of anyone planning on doing dictation software or any other voice recognition software?

Thanks

June 20 2008 at 11:45 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyPeriods...? I thought that there would be a SDK Samples section in AppStore and the app "Elements" would be there.
June 20 2008 at 10:35 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyNot to be childish and immature...but periods? I think he may want to re-think that name...
June 20 2008 at 10:12 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyUm, so if you didn't want to be childish and immature, how about not making the comment altogether?
As for the app itself, WebElements is the go-to site for elemental queries, and of course the iPhone has internet access, so I can't see how a pay-for app like Periods will be at all useful, even to chemists.
Furthermore, I have never ever felt the need to access WebElements from my iPhone "on-the-go."
Guy01: Gee Frank, what's the radius of Strontium?
Guy02: Ionic or covalent?
Guy01: Surprise me.

Yeeeep, I was thinking the same thing.
