Although this app was not on the pictures that I showed on an earlier post, this is one of those apps that makes the iPhone super sweet! AIM ( AOL Instant Messenger ) on the iPhone is so easy to use and it works great when you are connected with EDGE (big plus).

The fact that this application works well with EDGE data means that you don’t have to worry about being in a “Hot Spot” ( area with Wireless Internet )! Lets see whats so great about this app…

If you have never used AIM before you might want to head over to their web site to Create an Account. Once you have your account set-up simply log in on the first screen. When you log in you will notice on the bottom of the screen that there are four tabs to choose from. The My Info Tab shows your status. You can customize your personal message and also add a picture directly from your iPhone.

As you can see the tabs are straight fordward… Buddy List takes you to your Buddy List, IMs are your active IMs, and Favorites are your Best Buds!

To compose an Instant Message simply tap on your buddy and IM away. With the iPhone’s full qwerty keyboard it works seamlessly.

So there you have it, AIM on the iPhone. Just Another great app for the iPhone. And don’t forget that these apps are also available for the iPod Touch!

How do I get this app?
This app is available directly from Apple’s App Store so head on over there and download it because it’s free!
