While it seems to be a bit difficult for 3rd party developers to make a decent instant messaging application for Windows Phone 7, it looks like IM+ is working on it. According to the IM+ Facebook page a beta version might be available in April. We’re not sure how that will work since the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace doesn’t really have a beta-testing mode just yet. Hopefully we’ll see a full release soon since IM+ tends to be quite good at integrating instant messaging capabilities for a variety of IM accounts including: MSN Messenger, AOL, Google Talk, Yahoo, MySpace, Jabber, Facebook, ICQ, Skype, and Twitter. Hopefully we’ll also see some Live Tile and push notifications features as well!
How much would you pay for an integrated instant messaging app that integrates all of those services?
