I disagree. Considering there is yahoo messenger, icq, msn messenger, AIM, google talk, jabber, facebook chat, myspace chat, and pretty much all of other chat messenger protocalls avail for Android who in their right mind would want something that only works on a specific device or platform?
Personally I use Trillian - which works on andorid, windows, mac, blackberry, iphone, plus that have a web version and the thing is free.
