BeeJive IM for iPad Submitted to App Store [Screenshot]


BeeJive IM for iPad has been submitted to the App Store for review and should be available by next week, according to a Wired report.

The site had a chance to try an almost finalized version...

My favorite part about the BeeJive UI is it lists your chat sessions in a column on the right side of the screen. You can see a preview of what a person is saying in a bubble, which eliminates the need to switch back and forth between chats over and over. Selecting a chat in the right window displays the full conversation in the center screen.

You can scroll up and down the active chat window in the center, and there are icons to send an image, record and send a voice clip, e-mail a copy of your conversation and close the chat. I was surprised by how painless sending a photo and audio clip was: Rather than require a friend to accept a file transfer, BeeJive sends multimedia in the form of a URL for the recipient to view on a webpage. It’s fast, fast, fast, which is how the overall iPad experience should be.


BeeJive IM will be offered at an introductory cost of $6 and will cost $10 later. It is being sold separately from the iPhone version.
