Beta Beat: MobileChat iPhone AIM Client debuts

%Gallery-6874%

Stop the presses! Today brings not just one iPhone IM beta--but two. The MobileChat iPhone AIM client just showed up on Installer.app. It lacks Apollo IM's run-in-the-background features but it brings an attractive client with both talk bubbles and Away/Available message control. The gallery that accompanies this post allows you to see the software in action. It's pretty basic but its undeniably slick looking. I don't quite get the half-a-parrot-head as an icon though.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in.
