Blog sibling Download Squad just wrote up a Jabber client for the web written in AJAX (gotta love JavaScript), but did you know Jabber is easily accessed via Flash as well? For the recent Flash for Pocket PC contest a developer created AniMessenger, a Jabber client for Pocket PC (and Windows) using Flash and has distributed it for free to the world since July 16. If you have a Pocket PC device or even phone you can download the files and install them to access your Jabber based IM services. This means you can easily access the new Google Talk via your handheld anywhere there's an internet connection.
I am currently trying to find a web-based or browser only with no install version of a Flash Jabber client, but so far I have only found non-browser clients like Gush and the above AniMessenger. If you know of of something better feel free to send us the link via the tips page.
1. Well I installed the app in my pocket pc and it doesn't want to connect to the Gtalk server. It keeps saying NULL after I hit the signin button. What gives? I am suppose to use only the jabber.com server with their username and password?
