#XChat iPhone

X is set to launch its standalone messaging app called XChat for iPhone and iPad on April 17, based on its listing on the App Store. XChat will allow users to send private messages to others on X in a separate app focused only on conversations. Based on early previews, XChat will include features such as group chats, video calls, disappearing messages, and an option to block screenshots. Users can already pre-order XChat on the App Store before its official launch. After over two weeks of using the iPhone 3G, I can fairly say I have become familiar with this mobile device to share some insights on how it fares as a primary mobile phone. In a way, I regard the iPhone 3G primarily as an internet device and media player that has the cute feature allowing you to make calls and send SMS. That being said, if you are a heavy SMS user, then the iPhone is not for you. However, if you are open to trying out a new interface, I'm sure you'll enjoy the intuitive touch screen of the iPhone.
