This is a very promising piece of software. I just tried it on my Mogul, and although it is a bit on the slow side, I'm sure given time this program will become snappier and more streamlined. Thanks for this great find!

I actually really like the interface behind this better than any other(it actually lets u view conversion tabs night to your buddy list. But it runs so slow on my ppc-6700 its essentially unusable. Its so slow I can't tell if you can finger scroll or if u need to use the scroll bar. If its finger scroll, I could definitely see using this instead of beejive if the speed increases a lot.

Of course it wears down battery more if you leave it connected, but I love it. Almost reminds me of the AIM on the Sidekick, except pleasing. It's a keeper.

The only thing that would make this perfect is pop up notifications or even a Today plugin
