Read the story below. I will go ahead and attach the cab and report back once I have tried her out. Feel free to post thoughts.

AOL has just announced AIM for Windows Mobile 2.0 Beta. The software brings a number of new features and changes.

New in AIM for Windows Mobile 2.0:

* Lifestream! Keep tabs on what’s going on with your buddies. We’ve added a convenient "Lifestream" tab to the Buddy List. There is so much to check out:
o Get AIM activities like status updates.
o Got friends on other networks? Add your Facebook or Twitter services and never miss an update. Start syncing to your accounts by going to lifestream.aim.com and update your settings.
o You can add your YouTube or Delicious accounts too.
o Leave a comment, like an item. Obviously, if your friends don’t have the beta they won’t know about the Lifestream so if you want to try out commenting back and forth with someone make sure they have the beta too.
o Read comments made by your friends. Obviously, if your friends don’t have the beta, they won’t know about the Lifestream. Comments can be made on the desktop AIM beta client or at lifestream.aim.com.
* Me tab. The "Me" tab is a companion to the Lifestream that lets you know when people leave you comments or "like" your updates.
* Minor bug fixes. Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

AIM for Windows Mobile can be downloaded or can be sent to your cell phone.

Supported Devices: AIM for Windows Mobile supports devices with the Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 operating systems. Some examples are:

* T-Mobile Wing™
* Sprint Mogul™ and HTC Touch™
* AT&T Blackjack™ II, Tilt™
* Sprint Samsung Ace™
* Motorola Q
* Verizon Wireless XV6800
* Most Palm Treo’s

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

Seems like it could be mroe finger friendly. Also I went into the feed for twitter and facebook and it did not want to use kinetic scrolling and the bar on the side did not scroll very smoothly.

Re: AIM 2.0 beta

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

lol, im a little late on the aol mail.

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

Guess I'll give this app a try

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

This thing crushed my battery. I had it open for 3 hours after I unplugged it and I was down to 50%. Now to be fair I did just swap the software i use for Push Email and that could be affecting it. Also I have not used any IM software in a few months so I am not sure how it compares to others. really do not like the friend feed and will disable it and just use my twitter program for twitter.

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

still think nimbuzz is better, noticed a lag with aim also.

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

I just want to find an IM app that doesn't kill my battery in a couple hours!!

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

another reason i like nimbuzz

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

Wow with such bad reviews I think I'll pass on this app.

Re: AIM 2.0 beta
 

Nimbuzz doesn't work for me!! As soon as I launch it, it pushes all notifications (ringers, etc.) to the earpiece rather than the speaker...

Only way to fix it is soft reset... Very annoying!!
