Yahoo! Messenger gets an app

big_icon_32706.png Yahoo! Messenger for the iPhone allows you to IM friends and family right from your iPhone wherever you are.

From The Download Blog review:

quotemarksright.jpgYahoo Messenger for iPhone has many of the same core chatting features you'll find on Yahoo Messenger for the desktop: sending IM and SMS messages, support for emoticons, status updates, adding new contacts, and photo sharing (either an image from the camera roll or a new picture taken from within the application itself).

While the application won't be able to run in the background on the iPhone, it will keep you signed in, but idle, for 10 minutes while you're off playing with other apps. After 10 minutes is up, you'll need to log in anew to continue chatting.quotesmarksleft.jpg
