It's an interesting project. Any Adium developers could give me an input on this ? Am I allowed, or where should I start ? :-) I would be willing to port Adium to iPhone :-).

Am I allowed, or where should I start ? :-)

I am not the only one that would be willing to pay 4.99 for it. In the meantime, we are stuck with these cheap instant-messaging apps that don't even work.

Someone could purchase the App knowing the proceeds will go towards development of the iPhone specific version. This would afford the developers with some motivation and time incentive to start porting/rewriting. The app doesn't need to do much, maybe display the Adium duck and have a link that takes you to to the Adium homepage. Have a couple versions, priced at $0.99, $4.99, $9.99, etc for people wishing to donate to the cause. Another idea would be to release a free app that simply links to your paypal donation page, but allow people to specifically say they are donating to support iPhone development. The bottom line is that you've gotta get an App on the App store sooner rather than later, even if it's just a placeholder.

As a long-time user of Adium, I can only give you the most warm thanks for *the* must-have messenger app for any platform and having it for the iPhone will surely be marvellous. Make it the must-have app for the iPhone, and you could earn quite a few bucks... ;-) Yeah, just wanted to agree with howlongtoretire: Willing to pay some bucks for it for the iPhone, indeed!

And if I were you I would charge something for it, even if only a buck. I know I would be willing to pay for the iPhone version. It will sell very well imo. You've earned it!

When I'm solving a Sudoku puzzle and a call comes in, Sudoku disappears, and the phone pops up. But as soon as I terminate the call, it pops right back again and I can pick up where I left off. My .02: When I'm IM-ing, that's all I'm doing, so I, for one, don't need it to run in the background. Send me an SMS telling me to go to chat - that would work fine for me. BTW - I agree with several posts - Adium is definitely a cut above. One app at a time - yes, but also automatic switching.

And there's no Yahoo messenger app either. I'm sure many iPhone owners would be happy to pony up a few bucks for an iPhone version of Adium. We'll be here waiting when you're ready to roll with it. :-) Even a lobotomized version of Adium would be 10,000 times better than the AIM application on the iPhone.

Wait until the notification manager is out. Give us a quality app - like you always do. I am really looking forward to it, and will hone up my skills and try and contribute. Thank you dev team!
