Multi-protocol IM + rumoured for January/February release
WPCentral reports on a credible poster, Nabil, previously from iPhoneworld.ca, who reported in their forums on some of the communication he had with ShareServices, the company behind the multi-protocol IM+ client, which supports MSN®, Yahoo!®, Google Talk™, AIM®, MySpace™, Jabber, ICQ®, Facebook®, Skype™ and Twitter.
We already know IM + are planning a Windows Phone 7 client (they tweeted as much a few weeks ago). Now Nabil reports we can expect the software in either January or February.
He writes:
I just got word from my person at Shape Services. They are testing IM+ for Windows Phone 7 internally, so it’s not vaporware, and are planning to drop it on us in "January-February." Horray!
Connection to AIM and Skype in particular is much desired at present on Windows Phone 7, so I am sure there are many who can not wait to get their hands on this software.

AIM 2.0 beta for Windows Mobile released – features Facebook and Twitter integration
AOL has just announced AIM for Windows Mobile 2.0 Beta. The software brings a number of new features and changes.
New in AIM for Windows Mobile 2.0:
- Lifestream! Keep tabs on what’s going on with your buddies. We’ve added a convenient "Lifestream" tab to the Buddy List. There is so much to check out:
- Get AIM activities like status updates.
- Got friends on other networks? Add your Facebook or Twitter services and never miss an update. Start syncing to your accounts by going to lifestream.aim.com and update your settings.
- You can add your YouTube or Delicious accounts too.
- Leave a comment, like an item. Obviously, if your friends don’t have the beta they won’t know about the Lifestream so if you want to try out commenting back and forth with someone make sure they have the beta too.
- Read comments made by your friends. Obviously, if your friends don’t have the beta, they won’t know about the Lifestream. Comments can be made on the desktop AIM beta client or at lifestream.aim.com.
- Me tab. The "Me" tab is a companion to the Lifestream that lets you know when people leave you comments or "like" your updates.
- Minor bug fixes. Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
