LonelyCatGames Enters IM Arena
I already did the comparison of IM+ vs. Agile Messenger over at AllAboutSymbian.com, but there’s a new entry in this Mobile IM arena, called Slick, coming from LonelyCatGames. LCG is more well-known for their Smartmovie and Profimail applications, but have recently added X-Plore file explorer and LCG Jukebox, a music player.
Slick is only in open alpha right now, and works with Yahoo!, AIM, and ICQ. As soon as they get to beta stage, and add Gtalk and MSN, I’ll be loading it up and testing it against the rest, so that you always have a great comparison to see which one is right for you.
If you’re the type who can’t wait (which I’d guess most of my readers are) then you can click right here to go ahead and download the alpha.
Thanks to Devin Balentina at The Nokia Guide for the heads up.
I can say with a fair amount of certainty this will be the best one. Have been briefly testing the Alfa and I like it alot.
Why don’t also compare the Window Live Messenger for S60?
I just played around with aim on the alpha…the ui is awesome, pretty snappy, good options. although since its alpha all of my buddies were listed as offline, however i could still chat with them which was strange. there was no way to bring up recent im’s as far as i could tell. and also in the chat it was showing the coding for the font around the other persons message. Im sure they will get those issues worked out, and when they do i will definitely be using this program
