mIRGGI real IRC client for Symbian S60 3rd Edition released
Published by Veselin Nedeff in:Symbian, Freeware, Communication,
Before the Instant Messaging (ICQ, AOL, MSN, YM GTalk) clients the most used chat client was IRC. I am happy to inform all the Symbian S60 3rd Edition users that now there is IRC client they can use called mIRGGI. It's still in early beta but it does the job pretty well.
mIRGGI is the first IRC client for S60 3rd Edition devices. It is currently in early stages because I just began writing it on 10th of March. I've been meaning to do this for a long time but haven't gotten to it. I don't like the J2ME IRC clients (one big reason is that they suck up a lot of memory on S60) and I don't like using PuTTY, especially on devices without keyboard. Also their fonts are quite ugly (I like small vector fonts, as is obvious from this release :) said the developer.
mIRGGI contains the following functionality:
* connecting to one server
* joining channels
* query windows for private chatting
* 10k per channel/query backlog
* jumping to desired window with numpad
* ident daemon
* UTF-8 decoding
* T9 can be used
* usually needed commands implemented
* the font is small and nice (at least on tested devices)
* the memory requirements should be very small
* settings for autojoin and autoquery on connection
* will not be bloated with unneeded themes, skins, scripts, now playing -crap etc
mIRGGI is available for free download at Symbian Freeware site.
