Gear Diary BeejiveIM for iPhone  Fast Loading = Better User Experience photo

I have been bouncing between Beejive IM and IM+ as my IM client of choice on my iPhone. Lately IM+ has been the app I have used since it includes an in-app purchase that adds voice-to-text transcription. That will likely change today thanks to a heads up from our friends over on Just Another iPhone Blog.

They noted that BeejiveIM with Push just received a new update that adds faster loading, searching and chatting. This would be a welcome change since I have found both apps to load relatively slowly and, as a result, have found myself using an iPhone-based IM client less and less.

Well I tried out the Beejive update and… wow! It loads remarkably fast, it sends messages instantly and, overall, just improves the user experience significantly.

You can get it HERE in the App Store.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
