They said it just wasn't a high priority to impliment, but it's there now - really well implimented too...
I just picked up the Beejive chat app - it's a bit pricey but it's really well done. I'm loving that I can link IMs to contacts etc - it even updates the contacts. Buddie list management is pretty good, and the ability to make favorites is powerful. Worse though, it has Push - I not have AIM, FacebookChat, and GTalk online, in my pocket, all the time...going to be interesting to see how this works....
