Especially designed for AT&T customers

Yahoo Messenger has millions of fans who access the chatting solution using the PC, the Mac OS X or even the mobile flavor of the application. But it seems like the parent company Yahoo wants even more than that as a special version of Yahoo Messenger targets the AT&T customers. Obviously, this instant messenger would be compatible with the network's mobile devices and would enable the AT&T customers to communicate on the Internet using the Yahoo protocol. The folks from CunchGear discovered that several Tilt Yahoo Messenger screenshots appear when you go over to the AT&T website's support section, type 'tilt' and press search.

Because I'm not an AT&T customer, I don't know if Tilt Yahoo! Messenger is already available to the users but it seems like it is only in labs as the website's support sections shows only a few photos with the application. I guess it would be very useful if you were one of those YM addicted users who want to communicate with their friends wherever they are.

In the recent period, most of the Yahoo Messenger flavors were improved a lot, no matter what platform they target. It all started with the web based version which was implemented into the new Yahoo Mail, allowing the users to chat on the Internet without leaving the mail's interface. Moreover, the company rolled out a special version of Yahoo Messenger for the web which can be accessed from your browser and, without installing anything, you can talk with your friends connected to the network.

In addition to the web messenger, Yahoo was also focused on the Mac OS X version of Yahoo Messenger which is supposed to bring all the PC-based functions to the Apple customers in order to allow them to send files, share photos and use the webcams.
