I am with you, I want it on the iphone, I want it and the desktop version to have video, I want it andI want it now. However, so far this is a free application, excluding donations which I have sent, and people even geeky Adium programmers have lives that for odd reasons don't always revolve around what I want. We, users, sound like ungrateful Veruca Salt wannabes from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory..."I want it, and I want it now." I think IT IS REASONABLE that Adium informs us of their intentions regardless of how far-fetched and chuck-full of wishful thinking these endeavors may be. The fact that they are honest and give us insight into what obstacles lay in their way should be commended and appreciated not torn apart simply because some of us want to hear that all we want is possible and that whatever we want is around the corner. Having written all of this nice stuff... now I can get to my comment/question/concern: The last update to 1.3.2 build 25330 makes all my accounts seem to disappear. I regressed back 1.3.2b2 and all is well. In advance, thanks for addressing my comments. and fyi...Before someone tries to find me and destroy my DSL modem for posting this here, know this; I tried to find the right spot in the different threads, but alas, the threads are a jumbled mess in which I see no clear place for my comment/question.concern regarding missing or disappeared accounts with the 25330 build of 1.3.2.

Why would you post a blog entry that indicates an exciting new development for Adium, followed by reasons why it will, likely, not happen (and definitely not in a reasonable period of time)?

I know there is an NDA in place, but I don't understand why you're waiting so long to get your feet wet with this, at least looking into it. Obviously there's demand for it. I'm kinda surprised at how reluctant you are to enter this realm, especially since it might be a reasonable source of revenue. I don't mean to sound... demanding... or overly critical... but it does seem like a certain amount of foresight and preparation for this has been neglected or avoided. Again, not to be overly critical, I just hate to see someone beat you to the punch. Luckily, all the similar solutions that ARE available are sub-par as of this point, so your window is still open... for now. Hop to, fellas, right now you'd be the big dog.

I'd be willing to pay a few dollars if it meant a reliable Adium on my iPhone, or some sort of push method-- although many of us have laptops and I for one don't leave mine up and running when I'm away from it for security reasons-- I close the lid all the time. If you do start making an effort to do so, I would recommend the following: Ability to click on web links that will activate a page in Safari Ability to include short audio recordings Ability to include photos from the phone's gallery/iphoto Not requiring an account setup to login to all chats the first one is crucial, and would put Adium leaps and bounds above all others. Currently only one iPhone multichat does this, but with it's own browser and requires a login for accessing the accounts. I say let Safari do the browsing work, and let people keep their privacy by allowing them to simply login to their respective chat clients rather than an all-encompassing deal. Get on it!
