On the list of websites adapting to the iPhone's demands, Meebo will also make available a special version to perfectly match the handset's interface and display capabilities. Facebook is another major website that has went to the trouble of developing a new website version especially for Apple's
phone.

Meebo's existing site already worked great with the iPhone, which makes it unusual to see them go to all this trouble only for making things perfect. It's a great initiative coming from them, as the website now has the slick, horizontally sliding interface that manages to set Apple's phone apart from many other mobile devices.

Another advantage that iPhone's new Meebo interface has to bring is that of a service which resembles the desktop one at a great extent. It's easy to use and brings the huge advantage of having access to all your instant messenger accounts at the same time.

Users also have the possibility of saving their chat history and customize the way the website looks like according to their preferences. All buddy lists from different service providers are displayed in the same one, in alphabetical order. This makes it easy to handle and proves to be a highly practical solution.

The greatest advantage that this new version of the Meebo website has to offer is that the user does not have to make any special downloads. All that the user has to do is to log in his account just as he regularly does and see all his changes take effect both on their handset and desktop.

Another instant messenger that has been optimized for the iPhone is Mundu. The list of websites seeking to match this new mobile phone seems to be continuously growing, as the large number of new users of this handset and their profiles makes them excellent to target by these companies.
