Since the iPad 2 landed in our house, we've been enjoying the expanded app availability that comes with newer iOS compatibility.
However - we have a 1st-generation iPod Touch that's still going strong, holds a very good charge, and which my wife prefers to use for email / instant messaging (MSN & AIM/iChat).
Which brings me to the problem... this iPod Touch maxes out at iOS 3.1.3. The app she was using now requires iOS 4.3 and up.
...and now I've discovered the limitations of the iTunes app store. No way to filter results by iOS requirements or device or whatever. A gazillion chat apps (most of which are now oriented toward SMS) that you have to click on one at a time, check the system requirements, and then go back to the results list, repeat ad nauseum.
So - shortcut time. Anybody found an iOS 3.1.3 compatible chat app that supports MSN (which I hear Microsoft is killing off, but I suppose Windows Live account chat will continue) plus AIM/iChat?
TIA,
M
