Android: Those of you waiting for a more stable client (or with phones that didn’t allow sideloading) can finally test out Trillian for Android, on of our favourite (and your favourite) multi-protocol IM clients. More »
Android: The desktop version of Trillian Astra is one of our favourite desktop IM clients, and now you can get the same polished, account-syncing, tabbed-messaging IM client on your Android phone. More »
The maker of messaging aggregator Trillian has said it’s bringing its chat tool to Android, with a public beta test of the app set to launch within weeks. It’ll work on Android 1.6 devices and above, bringing Facebook, MSN, AOL support and more to Google phones – plus it’ll be a bespoke Android production that’s “not just a clone from the iPhone”.

Trillian, you know, Trillian? They submitted an IM app for the iPhone over two months ago, and there’s been not-a-word from Apple about it. They musta made somebody mad, since Apple says the average review time is two weeks. [Cerulean]
For iPhone owners still bummed out about the lack of messaging capabilities, there may be a glimmer of hope. Cerulean Studios is designing Trillian Astra specifically for iPhone application, and they need testers.
For those who aren’t familiar with Trillian, it encompasses the gamut of instant messaging programs, including AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC, so you can consider this the Rosetta Stone of IM clients. The screens look fantastic, having all the polish you’d expect in an iPhone app, and the whole experience is guaranteed to operate in real time. If you’re interested in running some beta on your Alpha and Omega, hit the link and sign up.
