I had trouble registering with Palringo because I thought I had to give an e-mail address with a password for the Palringo account. It finally worked when I gave an e-mail address with the password for THAT e-mail address. Palringo should be more specific on how to register.

I used Palringo earlier today. While it is the only iPhone app so far that supports MSN & Yahoo, it's still very buggy. Sometimes, it logs me out for no apparent reason. That usually happens after I've been IMing for a while. Also, this program DOES NOT run in the background as it claims. It logs me out when I exit the program. I have to go into Palringo to see if I have any IMs.

I tested out AIM and that seems to work better than Palringo. Since Palringo doesn't have push either, I prefer the GUI of AIM better.

Hopefully, Palringo can get updates out fast - before more IM apps hit the store.
