MSN Messenger for Windows Mobile? Zzzz...
Posted by Darius Wey in "THOUGHT" @ 09:00 AM
Let's rant on a topic that's very close to my heart (and has been for a number of years): MSN Messenger for Windows Mobile is anything but great. It's a plain old client supporting multiplayer notepad, and nothing else. There is zero support for emoticons, buddy icons, file transfers and all the other bells and whistles of the MSN Messenger service. Back when Windows Mobile 5.0 was first announced, I was hoping that the inclusion of the Pocket MSN client would bring about an improvement in MSN Messenger, but sadly, it didn't. :( And it's a real eye-opener when there are many third-party mobile messaging applications out there that do a better job.
Arne Hess seems to agree, and he's posted some very interesting thoughts over at the::unwired. And now it's up to you. Whatever's on your mind, let it be known.
