How to use Ipod Touch For IM (MSN Yahoo Aim Messenger)

So I know alot of you have been wondering how to use your Ipod Touch for Instant messenging, short IM. Many of you have been wondering if there is a hack for this, and Im sorry to inform you that there is not. But, there is a solution..

Launch up you safari and point it to www.meebo.com. Click on the service you like AIM, Yahoo, MSN and others. It’s as easy as that.

I’ve also tried out a couple of other similar services, but no one of them worked nearly as good as meebo.

Hi Kenneth,

There are actually quite a few IM clients for the iPod Touch and the iPhone, most of which can be installed through Installer.app. If you go to touchdev.net you can find instructions on how to install lots of applications, including Apollo and MobileChat (both IM clients for several carriers,) really easily.

It took me a while to figure out, especially having to downgrade to 1.1.1, but you should be able to get it.

Have fun!

Dean

alec,

look up for ipodtouchmaster in you tube and you’ll find great tutorials on how to jailbreak and load apps to your ipod touch; follow them STEP BY STEP and it’ll be safe. did that with mine and now have a great looking/working pda-multimedia device instead of just an ipod touch…

cheers!

Comment by heather on December 13, 2007 @ 2:53 pm

just found out about meebo.
it works great!

Comment by victorya on December 23, 2007 @ 8:58 am

wow, this works great! do not go to http://www.ebuddy.com on your touch, because not only is it slow, but it does not allow you to scroll down in your conversation. (the conversation is not a page in itself, its a page in a page, if that makes sense)

Comment by LILY on December 27, 2007 @ 10:48 am

hmmmm…..i just tried to IM someone, and it did not go through, it says Network Error: OCuld not IM buddy

why is this?

Comment by LILY on December 27, 2007 @ 10:50 am

ok, i am just the queen of comments here, but i have figured out my problem.
after typing your message, you have to hit done, then SEND.
i was typing then hititng GO and it doesn’t work

:)

Comment by LILY on December 27, 2007 @ 10:54 am

Actually they is another one that works alot better. Just go to google on your iPod and type in Jive Talk or BeeJive. It is the same thing and it was made for the iPod touch and iPhone.

Comment by msn on March 12, 2008 @ 10:11 pm

Hello,

Comment by Alex on May 16, 2008 @ 5:08 pm

can u text on the touch

Comment by mike on May 20, 2008 @ 11:05 pm

Instead of installing the IM clients on the IPOD Touch, just log into Meebo, or sites like Yahoo’s where you can IM from the web instead of the client? You don’t have any problems with those.

Comment by Carlos on July 15, 2008 @ 10:47 am

here is another website you can go to using safari: http://www.ebuddy.com ITS SOO EASY! just select which one you want to go on like MSN or YMAIL or whatever and log in! you can also use m.msn.com and from that u can go on messenger and check your hotmail emails in your inbox and stuff. CHEAT: sign into messenger using m.msn.com on your ipod/iphone and than just open a new page and go to hotmail.com and u can access your own hotmail inbox!! (zooming may be required)

Comment by Katie on November 8, 2008 @ 9:12 pm

Comment by Hayley on November 10, 2008 @ 6:31 pm
