ICQ for iPhone provides a mobile client for the real-time instant messaging service where users can connect to anyone on the AOL network. It provides a contact list for friends and also allows users to assign a picture to each content When talking with people on the application, simply flick your finger to switch conversations.
Features for the AIM update offers new SMS notifications to let users know when they receive a new IM, even if the program is not running, and access to contacts in the devices address book directly from AIM.
SHOCKcast is available for free from the App Store, while ICQ and the AIM update have yet to be given release dates.
