[REQUEST] PingChat! for Maemo
 
Hi fellas,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in being able to chat with their BB, Android and iPhone friends from their N900 phones?

I know I would :)

That is exactly the reason why n900 failed - we have multi-zillion of stuff nobody needs, and nothing that everybody wants

Is a nice way to skew reality. "Nobody uses" what is already there from the start and we take for granted, so should be boring. and "everyone wants" whatever is new, shiny and unavailable, because it must be fun.

Not sure about the myriad of IM protocols we have, but at least the one im in has been useful since the start, even if is a bit expensive in battery. At difference of that pingchat, that is meant to be between cellphones, the others are your prefered/actively used actual IMs, where your contacts already are, and for chatting between cellphones we already have sms (specially with the N900 conversations, that make them to behave pretty much like chat). It could be cheaper on battery or cost regarding one or another alternative, but is not like its giving a whole new kind of functionality that we never had.

For a minute there I thought I was reading that the n900 failed because it supports google, skype and msn that nobody needs, and not... pingchat... that everybody wants.

do your own thing, just because every body has piing, you don't need it! text message works perfect? + with msn you can do a lot more

I'd love to have bbm on this or something similar, true say we already have msn messenger, skype, text etc. but why not have that aswell if you live in an area where so many people use bbm, wouldn't having it on the n900 be useful?
