Hmm. That is a great idea Techreports. Some one should tell Jain about this. Nah, I am pretty sure he has thought of this and probably is working on this feature. I can not wait for the day when I can IM all my friends and associates using a Palm. I can just imagine all the school kids, college students carrying around a PDA accessing the internet through their wireless carriers that use Infospace.

you're kidding, right? this is unbelievable. if you have a cellular handset with which you can TALK, why do you want IM??? to write something to your buddies on the non-existing keyboard??? as if the world needed or demanded yet another IM standard... keep smoking, ignorance is bliss. ___ "Now, what if Infospace created it's own standard (much like Aol has with AIM and iCQ). Once the carriers begin offering IM services to their users, it will create Infospace's as the standard on the wireless platform. The only way to talk with your buddies is if your carrier uses Infospace as their platform. The only thing is, i think Infofspace uses open standards, so they won't be able to get that lock Aol has."
