14 DAY TRIAL // iPhone and iPod Touch users have not hesitated in the least to warm up to Microsoft’s instant messaging client tailored specifically to their devices. According to information from the Redmond company, the Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone and iPod Touch had already jumped over the 1 million downloads limit at the start of this week. Essentially, the software giant applauded the success of the new flavor of its IM client, especially considering that the application was released just a week ago.
“In just 5 days, over one million people downloaded the Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone that launched last week! This early momentum is fantastic, and we really appreciate the feedback we’ve been getting from many of you. We look forward to updating the iPhone app shortly to address a few issues that users have pointed out, and continuing to improve the experience,” revealed Michael Chang, Group Product Manager, Windows Live Messenger.
Microsoft is currently offering users the first Beta of Windows Live Wave 4 clients, including the desktop version of Windows Live Messenger. Chang noted that the company is extremely excited about the availability of Windows Live Wave 4 Beta. Of course, testers are invited to download the new releases and try them out in order to provide feedback to Microsoft.
“While Messenger for iPhone is relatively new, for many connecting with Messenger friends on your mobile phone is not new. In addition to the more than one million iPhone Messenger users, there are over 24 million people who connect with Messenger friends from other mobile phones through a client application, their phone’s browser, or SMS. Along with Messenger Connect, Messenger IM in Hotmail, and the coming integration with Xbox LIVE, the new iPhone app is just one more way that we are bringing Messenger to you across the web and on your phone,” Chang said.
