    [Update 07.10.08 @ 12.21pm]

    It seems in an attempt to hide the fact their product just doesn’t work, Saverio and Shaun have completely disabled the commenting feature on their blog. All previous comments are not longer visible and they have provided one mail box for comments, queries, suggestions and support.

    Utterly ridiculous.

    [Update 02.10.08 @ 13.43pm]

    Update 3.1 (aka The ‘God’ Save) now available.
    6 weeks in the making, and entitled ‘Bug Fixes’ not surprisingly it didn’t do a thing.

    Original Article:

    Ever since I bought Mobile Chat 3 by Shaun Harrison on August 14th, I and many others have been following it’s progress and updates carefully. These also included following the developer’s text updates and status announcements at their blog tumblr.twenty08. After reading and monitoring the site for about 4 weeks now, I’ve come to the conclusion the application simply does not work. So the question is:

    Why is Apple allowing this application to remain on the App Store? (more…)

    [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.

    [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
