Trillian 1.6 for iPhone Is Out and Free, Cerulean Studios Announces
Back in May, Cerulean Studios, the company behind the popular Trillian multiprotocol instant messaging application, announced that Trillian 5.0 for Windows had been released to the public and that Trillian would be offered free of charge for desktop and mobile users, that it would offer features that were previously available only to Trillian Pro uses who were willing to part with their money.
The thing is that at the time, apart from the desktop version of Trillian 5.0 for Windows, the mobile versions of Trillian had yet to be released. The first mobile release occurred mid-May, when Cerulean Studios rolled out Trillian 1.1 for Android. The second mobile release occurred a few days back, when Cerulean Studios rolled out Trillian 1.6 for iPhone. Just like the Android and the Windows versions, the iPhone version is now free.
“We’re pleased to announce that Trillian for iPhone is our second mobile application to go free, so head on over to the App Store on your favorite iOS device to get your copy!” announced Cerulean Studios. “We’ve fixed a handful of bugs in this build, added a basic chat history viewer, and made major improvements to our networking engine. You should notice fewer disconnects and should be able to interface with existing chat windows more easily even when you’ve lost your network connection.”
Cerulean Studios went on to say that if you are a paying customer of Trillian for iPhone, then your account has already been upgraded to ad-free status. You will not get to see any ads in the Trillian for iPhone client, unlike the users who did not purchase Trillian for iPhone in the past, who will see ads in the free Trillian 1.6 for iPhone.
Furthermore, you will not see ads in the Android or BlackBerry version of Trillian either. If you switch from your iPhone to an Android or BlackBerry, “your original iPhone purchase will be honored as if you bought Trillian there as well,” said Cerulean Studios.
