MobileChat AIM Client Released for iPhone
For anyone who ever wanted to use their iPhone as an AOL Instant Messenger device, the guys over at twenty08 have announced the release of MobileChat, their first AIM client for the handset.
According to MacSlash, the program can be installed via NullRiver's AppTapp Installer and worked with from there. The program's source code is also available for download, review and tinkering with on your end.
MobileChat is currently still a beta and a few minor glitches have been reported to date. Users can also take a look at ApolloIM, another open source iPhone AIM client.
If you've tried either of these programs or have feedback of any sort, let us know in the comments or forums.

I have used ApolloIM from day one and the improvements that the team have made in this short time are amazing. I saw Mobilechat available on the iPhone instapper.app and gave it a try also.
As reported there are a few bugs in the application but that is to be expected in the early beta stages that both of these apps are in. My current choice is ApolloIM since it uses a louder, new message sound and shows new messages in the springboard icon. Mobilechat has an AWAY feature and bubbled text that is also a nice touch.
I hope to see more great improvements in the future for both of these apps.
