Apollo IM has released a new 1.0 version, with quite a few major changes and enhancements:
- Added support for DotMac, ICQ, MSN in addition to AIM. Through libpurple.
- Buddylist notification of open conversation
- Multiple account sign on – I’ve been on 8 accounts at once, although, I wouldn’t recommend more than 2-3 active accounts on edge, otherwise it gets slow real quick
- Sectioned buddy list by accounts
- Away / Unaway via the pretty green dot in the upper right. Tap it, turns red, you’re away. Tap it again, turns green, you’re back.
- Support for Alias’d buddy names.
- Support for Status Messages – shows up in the buddy list
- Time Stamps in conversation windows
- Removed Buddyinfo, for now
- Preparing to add a pane to "Settings" – eliminates need for "Prefs" button for us, will allow extended user options
- Completely brand new UI.
- Entire application is brand new, recoded from the bottom up. Stability should be amazingly enhanced.
- Wifi Keepalive still requires summerboard.
It’s available on Installer now. They’ve also got a new homepage, which is worth a look, at:
I haven’t tried this out yet (still not that big an IM user). Seems like the competition between Apollo and MobileChat is pretty strong right now – would love to see comments from anyone who has tried the new version and hear what you think!
