Comments are welcome!

Great work Menneisyys! That's a very comprehensive chart and should be a great read. :thumbleft:

Thanks!

Feel free to comment on (even in private e-mail if you prefer) the OctroTalk-related info in there, particularly when it comes to implementing (still) missing functionality in OctroTalk. (that is, if you're sure a particular functionality will surely be implemented in the near future and I can also include this info in the chart)

Can't seem to find the answer so I will ask guys.

I am a noob to the PPC family, and have a new Sprint Q with the PV package. I want to make sure this program does not use TEXT messaging with Sprint since I do not have that on my plan. I have unlimited Data. Does this use the Data connection and not the text part?

Thank you!

V1.11 is the current version.

File transfer added to v 1.12 (PPC) and v1.09(SP)

We have added File transfer support to our client for GoogleTalk. It allows you to select any number of files (even folders and files together) to be transferred to and from the PC. We are using a direct P2P connection (without any hosts in between), and that allows for very fast connections. If you are on Wi-Fi, transfer speeds can be even faster than transferring via ActiveSync.

This is probably the most advanced network file transfer on the Pocket PC out there.

Also, I saw a post by Menneisyys (and his blog) about IM messengers -- just to clarify -- our client connects directly to GoogleTalk servers using XMPP (Jabber) -- it doesn't connect to our servers directly. The AIM/MSN/Y!/ICQ are implemented using Jabber transports, and they connect through our server.

There is also a bug in GoogleTalk servers where users of the type "msn1.octro.net " (ones without userid@) couldn't be added properly, and thus cause a request to GoogleTalk every time. We have removed the need for this in our transports (changing our transport to msn@msn1.octro.net). This has caused older versions of OctroTalk to stop working with legacy accounts. If you are using Legacy accounts, it can be used only with 1.12/1.09 or later.

Enjoy!

Wont let me log into aim, says AIM Transport is offline, and I get a message on google talk (from my PC) saying aim[at]aim1[dot]octro[dot]net is Offline and Cannot recieve messages.
