Chatting with all your friends on your phone usually can mean switching between five IM clients at once. Well, today you can save a few bucks by chatting in the one IM client to rule them… okay, sorry about that. Plus: keep an eye on the stars for free and go hunting for Bambi and all his woodland friends. I hear they're virtually delicious. And finally, forget the cold; we're all going jet skiing with today's top app deals.
Chat with your friends no matter what weird-ass IM service they're using. Even Vkontakte! I've never heard of that, have you? Well, if your friends are using it, you can talk to them. The usual suspects are there too: AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN, Google Chat, ICQ, and more. Plus, the app has a new Neighbors feature so you can make friends with people near you. Maybe you could form a virtual neighborhood watch. Dropped from $10 to $4. [AppShopper]
