There are plenty of instant messaging applications available for Windows Mobile phones and PDAs. But ever since Agile Messenger went and started charging money for their excellent IM client, there's been a dearth of good free IM clients.Palringo is stepping up to the plate with a full-featured freeware app for Windows Mobile and Symbian devices. Palringo supports several of the most popular instant messaging services, including MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, and Google Talk/Jabber.
Palringo sports a few unusual options like the ability to logon to the same service multiple times. So if you've got two AIM names, you can use both at the same time. You can also send voice clips, although Palringo doesn't support real time voice chat.
Oh, and one of our favorite things about Palringo is that it's got support for older Windows Mobile devices. Unlike many newer applications, it supports Windows Mobile 2003 and up.

This is great! I have a Treo 700wx that has no Java support so I have been looking for something just like this.
I am excited to give it a go.

Why do they keep calling it MSN?
MSN (messenger) died awhile ago.
It's pretty much WLM (Windows Live Messenger) now.
People need to start calling it WLM instead of the old MSN name.

A free IM client and a free Mac syncing program... pretty much everything I ever wanted from Windows Mobile has been released shortly after I ditched the platform.
