Colloquy Mobile for the iPhone
Posted by admin on Wednesday Apr 29, 2009 Under iPhone AppsThe latest IRC client released for the iPhone/iTouch – Colloquy – may have a short and simple name that belies a world of utility behind it. Founded on the Chat Core structure, Colloquy Mobile provides great functionality and mobility that makes for the ultimate web experience.
To keep things simple, here is a summary description of the basic features of Colloquy Mobile. While being entirely suitable for mIRC colors, Colloquy Mobile lets you select from a range of message styles and emoticons. Moreover, you get the ability to connect to multiple servers and access more than one chat room at any given time.
It also incorporates NickServ, which carries out instant ID exchanges with networks. Other basic features such as server error notification, automatic sign-in, SSL support for secure lines, and text encoding ensures that Colloquy Mobile will never leave you high and dry.
However, the best part are the features that set it apart from the rest of the pack. Starting from the thoughtful nickname/emoticon suggestion popups right up to the user-friendly and flexible interface, Colloquy Mobile makes for a unique user-experience. You can even set it to vibrate when certain specific words (such as your nickname) is used in a conversation.
It also has inbuilt settings for easy-to-use Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia searches.
Other useful features of this software include landscape mode support, chat room member search facility, user information display, and connectivity options even when the phone is in the locked mode.
Overall, Colloquy Mobile is a well-designed client and it clearly shows that the developers have put in a lot of effort and thought into it. The best reward, of course, is the guaranteed user satisfaction at the end of the day.
