Okay, any suggestions on the best Instant Message app for the 3G iPhone for use over data??? BeeJive and BB IM works great on my Curve but BeeJive not so much on the iPhone... Suggestions???
why does aim always disconnect evn if i'm under a wifi network?? It's reminding me of mobile im...LOL.
I was home and had my iphone set to my home wireless network. I logged into aim, and put up my away message then went to sleep. I woke up and i was no longer logged in. is it because the iphone went to sleep?? LOL maybe its just glitchy?? I liked how jivetalk never disconnected haha.

The iPhone doesn't allow 3rd party apps to run in the background at this time. AIM will keep you logged in after the app closes for 5 or 10 minutes I believe (unless you have it set to log you out on exit in the options), but after that it will automatically log you out.
WiFi cuts off to save power when the phone is in sleep mode as well.
Apple is rolling out a "push notification" service in early September to remedy this. When that services is out, it will work like this:
1. You leave AIM
2. AIM logs you out on the phone, but the notification service runs on an outside server
3. The notification server receives notice that you got a new message
4. The server pushes the notification to your phone's AIM app, which gives you a notification (beep, vibrate, whatever...) as well as displays a badge next to the icon with the number of new messages (like Mail or SMS)
5. You open AIM and it auto logs you in as it loads the app, giving the impression that it was always running, and you get your new messages
That is how it is supposed to work anyway. We will have to wait until September to see...

To me it sounds more like a "not ever". I mean if they are developing this whole framework for "push notification", they must really have no intention of allowing a background process (besides maybe a few of their own) to run.
