I am currently beta testing tirllian but I might give this a go too. Three questions first though:
1) does it support myspace chat
2) could you give me more info on the message history feature
3) how are users displayed (e.g. does it display their actual account username or does since some networks support changing the display name does it show what ever the end user has chosen as a display name, does it show their contact pic/avatar)

AOL Instant Messenger client called MobileAIM was put up on the AOL beta page. I for one am not that excited about it. Why u might ask there are other clients like Palringo, Jive, Fring etc that already offer this and with those clients you dont need to have multiple application for each messenger , plus I dont have an AIM account . But there might be some specific feature present in MobileAIM that are not available on the other clients.
Anyways if you want to test drive this beta : Signup and Download

this aim beta is a total memory hog...thats the only disadvantage in my opinion and the lack of notifications when users sign on.
Loving the icon pictures!!! thats a plus
Glad to present my latest app: Corporate Contacts
I was surprised to find out that Android actually internally supports much more options, that the Contact app works with. Groups are one example - that is usually the
"Category" when syncing with MS Outlook. So, I made an app that exploits the underlying system a bit more. Check out the app, and the video below, for an introduction. Updates are to come...
NOTIFICATION: I am giving away some registration keys for the app, which unlock the full functionality, and remove the ads. Write me a message if you're interested!
Latest version: 1.5.3
https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate.free
Contacts management application, providing the essential address-book management that Android lacks.
Group SMS and e-mail sending, group editing of contacts.
See the introductory video for a demonstration of app's highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFWiCEsmAy4
The free version is ad-supported and has several limitations. For the full version, without ads and limitation check: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate
Key features:
* Organize contacts in groups.
* Browse the address book by groups, organizations, positions and locations.
* Context filters by an additional criteria.
* Contextual search.
* Group SMS and E-mail sending, using templates to add a personal touch to the messages.
* Fine-grain selection of addresses and phone numbers when sending group SMS and E-mail.
* Twelve nice skins.

WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($1.99/year after)
WHY USE WHATSAPP:
★ NO HIDDEN COST: Once you and your friends download the application, you can use it to chat as much as you want. Send a million messages a day to your friends for free! WhatsApp uses your Internet connection: 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available.
★ MULTIMEDIA: Send Video, Images, and Voice notes to your friends and contacts.
★ GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group conversations with your contacts.
★ NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: Just like there is no added cost to send an international email, there is no cost to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends all over the world as long as they have WhatsApp Messenger installed and avoid those pesky international SMS costs.
★ SAY NO TO PINS AND USERNAMES: Why even bother having to remember yet another PIN or username? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS would, and integrates flawlessly with your existing phone address book.
★ NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT: No more confusion about getting logged off from another computer or device. With push notifications WhatsApp is ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS CONNECTED.
★ NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Your Address Book is used to automatically connect you with your contacts. Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list. (You can of course always edit Favorites any way you like)
★ OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.
★ AND MUCH MORE: Share location, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Precise message time stamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and MMS to many contacts at once and much much more!

ehm.. I appreciate your effort to copy and paste, but I think that literally 100% of the people on xda knows this app.. it's basically on every "top android apps" list.
Also, you could have easily posted the link to the android market, especially since the latest version is 2.8.1504 (you are posting 2.7)

WhatsApp is quite a neat application for messaging, but I have a few issues with it
* It's tied to a mobile number. If I swap SIMs (depending on network coverage etc) it no longer works properly
* There is no web interface to access the messages
* There is no supported tablet application
* Many users in my contact list have used whatsapp at one point, but are no longer current users. I'd like to filter to something like "online in last 10 minutes" or similar otherwise I have little confidence they'll see my message
I actually find facebook messenger, twitter DMs and potentially apps like kik, viber, chaton work better as they don't have this dependence.
Comments? What apps do others prefer more? Any news on any of the above being remedied?
Note - I'm not bothered by any ££ if the app works.

1-so...?
2-yes there is.
3-if tablet has no mobile data connection, I.e. No sim, what's the point of having whatsapp on it.
4-it does tell you when they were last online. And if they're on the whatsapp contact list, they still have whatsapp installed, so they will get the message.

1) Also your sms and phone calls depends on mobile number...
2) Its a mobile app only, perhaps they intend it to stay that way (But there are several proyects that connect you from web or pc)
3) (Usually) a tablet does not have a phone number.
4) You have the last connected under the contact's name, so, if my contact hasn't been online since May, it is almost certain he/she wont get the message.
Whatsapp was born to be an blackberry messenger alternative, aimed at the same target but multiplatform, facebook chat, twitter, etc where born as web services, with mobile apps launched later. Viber, Line, etc. Where born to include all those things you ask on top of whatsapp.
EDIT: Acording to this post (in spanish) http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/16989423/Whatsapp-via-Pidgin-en-Archlinux-y-derivados.html
It is possible to integrate whatsapp with pidgin, so you can chat on whatsapp via linux

viber and chaton do use the phone number
Note: not every country and network company support 0.Facebook
Zero Dot is an app created by Panos Dentsas, a Greek android developer, to help people that use zero facebook (0.facebook.com) get the most out of it.
Zero Dot adds new features to the standard free facebook service and it works similar to Facebook messenger but without any data or wifi connection! That means that you get notifications which include the other user's name, the time the message was sent and of course the message itself along with sound notifications when new messages arrive, immediately without having to take your phone out of your pocket to check for any possibly new messages every once in a while.
The app is still in BETA stage, that means its possible to encounter some bugs and some features may not be available yet.
