Mabber Mobile IM
I saw this over at TechCrunch: Mabber is another online IM app that's giving Meebo a run for its money. However, what makes Mabber stand out is that there is a mobile version you can use on your cell phone. I'm curious to see if this app will work without a data plan, since I haven't found a mobile app yet that would. Unfortunately, it what is rapidly becoming the de facto way to launch, Mabber is invite-only at this time.
Update:
I got the invite and I have 9 left to give out. I signed up and set up my username/password combinations at mabber. Oddly, a pop-up window appeared for every MSN contact I had, asking me to accept or deny. 35 windows later, I was in. Getting the mobile app sent to your phone wasn't cake, either. You had to use your "international country code" before your phone number. Well, call me a homebody, but I haven't been out of the states since the pre-cell phone era -- I thought there must be some special code or something. Well, one Google search later and I learn it's just the number one...oh, and the plus sign in front of it. Whatever that means. (Do phones overseas have a plus sign? Just curious...) The app was sent to my phone but didn't work. Again, Sarah needs a data plan. Apparently, nothing works without one. T-MobileWeb just doesn't cut it.
If only there was a way to hack my phone to make it think I had a data plan...Razr? V3? Anyone? Just kidding, of course....
That sounds mighty interesting. Sarah I would love an invite if you still have them :)
