Comments on: Windows Live Plugin for webOS Messaging In Development
It's definitely not perfect: there are bugs aplenty in regards to Synergy contact linking (that we'll detail after the break). But if you're just wanting to chat with your friends on Windows Live, you're covered. The mod works by altering Palm's custom wrapper to libpurple (the open-source IM library upon which webOS Messaging is based) to support Windows Live, and then updating the database of account plugins. And yes, this also means that other libpurple-compatible IM services - including IRC, Facebook chat and Skype IM amongst others - could potentially be easily added in the future. (Update: Greg has now successfully upgraded the webOS libpurple to version 2.6.2 and has Yahoo! IM up and running as well.)
More details - and pretty pictures - can be found after the break...

RE: Awesome!!
IRC will be awesome!
Great Job! I can't wait to try this!
RE: IRC will be awesome!
As for how 1.2 might affect things... no bloody idea at this point. Ask again in a week or two :)
RE: IRC will be awesome!
I don't know, I think it just makes more sense for that specifically to be its own app, with everything else built in.

RE: WTF?
RE: should have been standard
Released
I couldn't get it to work in the emulator, but I haven't tried it on my device because I finally finished getting all my hacks and tweaks set up after webOS Doctoring to the official 1.2.
I guess it only works though if you went directly to 1.2 for now, since Palm changed the database format a little.

I'm not going to risk running something in an early state on my Pre though.

Unusable!!! Goes Offline if not in use....
IF i doe nothing with my pre then the Messenger goes OFFLINE after 1-5 Minutes... in UMTS even in W-LAN ...sometimes it works a few minutes longer but most time it goes offline aufter 1-5 Minutes...
What should i do with a messenger who only works if i write messenges and goes everytime offline if i just waiting for new messenges...
STUPID!
