Tjat, For those of you who are not familiar with it, is an IM (instant messaging) portal that puts together some of the world’s most popular IM services and serves them in one easy to use widget. Think of it as a multiprotocol instant messaging app for your Windows Mobile-powered device or your Nokia Series 60 smartphone.
