Question MSN Messenger?

Will MSN Messenger EVER be released?

I'm not talking about Palringo or any other 3rd party software, but 100% genuine Microsoft supported MSN.

AIM, Yahoo have it, so why hasn't MSN been released? I mean, even "lower" spec phones have it as a standard feature nowadays

Re: MSN Messenger?

Is it something to do with Apple v Microsoft.
You'd think not as the iPhone can retrieve Hotmail and you can get PC specific software on the Mac now.

I want MSM too.

Re: MSN Messenger?

fring has been around for a while and is free that also allows you to talk on msn but i agree that its really not upto par compared to an msn specific program.
