Trillian beta for Android released

Awesome! I've been waiting for this. I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
 
chat application. irc, social website monitor. Right now it only is showing my Trillian contacts but its beta after all.
 
Trillian is a proprietary multiprotocol instant messaging application for Windows, Mac OS X, iPhone OS, BlackBerry, Android, and the Web, created by Cerulean Studios. It can connect to multiple IM services, such as AIM, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Bonjour, XMPP, and Skype networks; as well as Social Networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace; and email services, such as POP3, IMAP, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail.
 
The one thing so far that I don't like is that it doesn't have an icon in the notification bar when you are signed into the application. Guess I'll stick with Ebuddy for now.

I prefer that. Takes up notification space.

Besides, eBuddy sits wrong with me. They don't log directly into the services, they actually run it through their servers.

This is one reason I like it.
 
It needs to be able to pull your Facebook profile pic rather than having to set it manually. It also needs to a setting to never sign off. Right now all you can do is set it to sign off after 7days.

You have to activate the other accounts manually. Under Accounts you just tap on the ones you want - very nice that way. Plus it seems to keep your MetaContact information appropriately (one contact entry for someone with accounts on Gtalk, AIM, MSN, etc.). So far pretty nice - if only they'd release a Linux version :)

That 7 days is the number of days after you last used Trillian. I think if you don't open Trillian for 7 days you probably don't need to be logged in :p
 
I downloaded the apk file, but I can't find it to install it. Can someone help me find it on my Evo? Thanks.

It's most likely on /mnt/sdcard/downloads/

That's where mine was on my Evo. That's downloaded from the stock browser.

If you're using Astro File Manager I think it's just /sdcard/downloads/ because it treats /sdcard/ as the root.
 
I replaced Ebuddy with Trillian for a trial run, and I've notice that my battery life has gotten much better. I haven't done anything other than log off of Ebuddy (still have it installed) and installed Trillian. I wonder what's going on.
 
I know for Gtalk, Trialllian's servers create the connection for you, which might look like a red flag to google.
