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.
AIM for Windows Mobile can be downloaded or can be sent to your cell phone.

AIM beta for Windows Mobile released
After a near decade-long fallow period AOL has finally released an updated version of their instant messaging client for the Windows Mobile platform. While Windows Mobile users have been able to access the IM network using 3rd party software, this is the first official release for many years, and shows ongoing support for the Windows Mobile. This is especially significant as AIM was one of the stars of Apple’s SDK announcement 3 months ago.
AOL has put a lot of effort in the development of the software, and for example has made a single binary that works both on Windows Mobile Professional and Standard devices. The following devices are supported.
- T-Mobile Wing
- Sprint Mogul and HTC Touch
- AT&T Blackjack II, Tilt
- Sprint Samsung ACE
- Motorola Q
- Verizon Wireless 6800
- Most Palm Treo’s
At present auto-updates and file transport are not supported, but these may come in later builds.
