    No Push Capability // No persistent connection is kept
    Something which should have been clarified a long time ago, is that Mobile Chat 3 for iPhone currently does NOT retain a connection to your account if you close the application. This will hopefully change when Apple implement ‘push’ technologies into iPhone OS, until then, we wait.

    [Updatex2] – 19.08.08 (23.35pm GMT)

    Twenty08 yesterday announced they have joined forces with one the greatest developers the iPhone has seen to date. Alex Schaefer. Recognisable as the developer of ‘Apollo IM’ for jailbroken units, Alex has officially joined the payroll over at the MobileChat base camp. Interestingly, Saverio notes Alex brought up some pretty nice ideas for UI enhancements and program stability. The relationship is said to be exclusive between Twenty08 and Schaefer, hinting Alex may drop support for Apollo IM on the jail-break scene. Apollo IM was a freely available application which did not use the ‘App Store’ distribution model.
