eBuddy launches iPhone version w/screenshots

eBuddy has launched an alpha version of their app for the iPhone. The new Alpha enables instant messaging on the iPhone for MSN, Yahoo and AIM.

Some of the features include:

• Automatic detection – point your iPhone to http://www.ebuddy.com/ and it automatically recognizes you are using an iPhone.
• Scalable screen – whether you hold the iPhone horizontal or vertically, the eBuddy application automatically adjusts for a clear overview.
• iPhone friendly interface – we’re working hard to provide a simple and user friendly interface that makes instant messaging on the iPhone fun and easy.
• Multi network client – sign into MSN messenger, Yahoo Messenger and AIM with one buddylist.
• Send and receive emoticons – insert emoticons into your text messages.
• Custom fonts and colors – customize the font and color of your text messages.
• Robust Back-end – the client connects to our 150+ server back-end for a robust and secure chat experience.
• Parallel development – the alpha version is a special flavor of our new eBuddy beta web version. So there will be plenty of new features coming soon as well as support for more IM networks.
• AJAX framework – the alpha uses the same AJAX foundation as the beta web version, delivering the same A-grade experience.
