http://iPhone.beejive.com it's an excelent iPhone web version
beejive is my "go to" instant messenger on the iphone as well. I can't wait for their native app.
However, my two cents is that when it comes to instant messenger i will gladly pay $ to buy and keep more than one program for the simple reason that at any given time if your primary instant messenger program isn't working (server down for example), you will have another program to log into and tie you over. right now, beejive is my primary and i also have accounts at meebo and another one. i find it convenient to still be able to instant message even if one of the programs is not working.
As far as native apps go, i will be buying mobilechat and beejive and scooping up any quality free ones as well just in case.
