Microsoft Releases Windows Live Messenger for iPhone

Apple has just approved Windows Live Messenger for iPhone, which is available for free in the App Store.

Chat features aside, the app allows you to upload photos directly from your device, create albums, add captions and comment on contacts’ photos. Also, you can access Hotmail without having to leave the app: you can read, reply and compose emails, together with notifications for new messages.

“Windows Live Messenger for iPhone and iPod Touch is the best way to connect with the people that matter most and keep up with the things they are doing across the web. Use your iPhone to instant message your friends list, view and comment on your friends’ photos and status updates from Windows Live, Facebook, and MySpace, and at a glance, see what your Messenger friends are sharing from Flickr, YouTube, and many other social and photo sharing sites. Make sure to visit http://profile.live.com/Services today and setup Windows Live to bring in your social networks. Messenger is simply the best way to connect with your closest friends.”
