    [Updatex3] – 20.08.08 (02.11am GMT)

    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.

  • Mobile Chat 3: Unexpected Demand // Servers are pulled. – [Updated]

    [Update] – 15.08.08 (20.28pm)

    Twenty08 has acknowledged AOL connectivity issues with Mobile Chat 3.

    From Twenty08

    “We have no estimated time frame on the patch for this problem; however, we are diligently working and hope to have a solution soon. We will post new information as it develops.

    Just as a note, we are VERY aware of the other issues; however, we are focusing on the largest and moving down the list as we solve them.”

    As well as promising to address issues with the AOL protocol and Mobile Chat 3, one of the developers also states:

    “I understand that everyone is frustrated. Shaun and I have been working non-stop over the past few days trying to resolve these issues and there’s only so many hours in the day. We’ve brought in a number of people to help us out and we’ve been speaking with the people who are behind some of the core technologies that we run MobileChat on. We’re deeply apologetic for the hassle we’ve caused people and understand that people are furious with us. My only consolation (as of right now) is that, if you’re patient, a quality product will be delivered (as it should have in the first place!). I can offer nothing else other than the knowledge that Shaun and I will not rest until we’ve made each and every one of our customers 100% satisfied.

    -Saverio”

    [Updatex6] – Full Review, Now Available

    For anyone reading this article currently, my full, on-going,
    review of Mobile Chat 3.0 is now available HERE

    [Updatex5] – 13.08.08 (20.05pm)

    Scratch that, the application functions over 3G and Edge too! – Although very unstable currently.

    [Updatex4] – 13.08.08 (11.31am)

    The application seems to need a persistent connection to wifi. It’s unclear as to whether the service works over Edge and/or 3G. The reason I’ve come to this conclusion is I tried to connect to the account (pictured above) and I got a ‘Cannot connect to Mobile chat’ alert message. I then switched to Wifi and my account continued to be successfully signed in through the MSN network
