So far seems good. It lets me know whether or not the the user is using the IM Forwarding or if they're actually on. As for the sounds, they work. But the volume is controlled through the Media Volume instead of the Ringer Volume. It does however, vibrates if the phone is on vibrate even though the Media Volume is still set to max.

So how do I get the sound to work?

Glad to see this app in the Market. Now, a good Twitter client needs to come... iPhone like (Tweetie2)

Thanks so much . . . there's no way I would've found that on my own.

Finally!! Yes! I downloaded it immediately after I saw the article for it on the main page!

I've been using Meebo since birth of Droid, and will still keep it for Facebook chat. But I'm glad a truely hosted AIM app is finally out!

This will work for Facebook chat for me until the official app gets Facebook support. Which won't be long probably, since Facebook just announced Jabber support.

it's in settings once you open AIM, says Facebook chat... big print.. it will be grayed out until you've enabled it from a computer though
