    I’m glad they’ve put out a native app, but I think I still like Beejive IM, since it incorporates several different IM clients.

      I just wish Beejive was Universal, as it currently looks horrendous on my iPad screen.

        Totally agree…can’t we light a fire under those guys to get out an iPad app??

          They’ve had more than a year to port it over. Maybe Trillian will beat ‘em to it?

            Or Adium will cowboy up and put out some apps…

          • http://chris.pirillo.com/ Chris Pirillo

            Doubtful. I dropped Adium a few weeks back because I found it actually being too much of a drain on system resources.

            Oh? So you’re on Trillian on your laptop?

            Honestly, I don’t use IM on the go as much as other people do. If I did, though, it would likely be the client which had best sync’ing across all platforms.

    I use AppShopper (both the app and the site) to keep track of new apps, popular apps, and price changes on apps I want. You’d be surprised how many apps have a one-day free or 99 cent sale!

    freeappalert.com is a great way to get new apps. Check daily, download interesting ones, use or discard. There are apps some days that normally go for $4.99 or more.
    I have to agree – AppShopper is also a great way to keep track.
