Fring for Windows Mobile has just been updated to version 3.20.23.118, which adds Yahoo/AIM IM support to the popular Skype alternative application, as well as implementing a number of bug fixes and an improved connection manager.

Fring, which can be downloaded from http://www.fring.com/download/, has gained traction in the Windows Mobile community as an effective alternative to Skype's own VOIP client. From the Fring website...

Fring™ is a free mobile VoIP application that utilizes free WiFi or your mobile internet data plan to make free mobile internet calls and live chat (IM) to other ‘fringsters’ and PC-based services including Skype®, Google Talk™, ICQ, MSN® Messenger, Twitter, AIM® &Yahoo!TM **

  fring offers benefits previously enjoyed only on a PC and empowers you to truly go mobile. You can make cheap international and local mobile internet calls, see who’s online before dialing with contact availability icons, live chat instead of SMS, chat in multiple conversations simultaneously, view conversation history and more! Plus, you can take all your fring, Skype, Google Talk, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Twitter, AIM and Yahoo! buddies mobile and view them alongside your regular phone contacts, from one integrated and searchable contact list.

   As fring automatically roams between WiFi and 3G networks, you can effortlessly login to recognized WiFi hotspots, smoothly gaining access to the best available network for optimal call quality and savings wherever you are.

fring bypasses traditional mobile voice and SMS text messaging services by utilizing the mobile handset’s native internet connection. fring does not require any dedicated hardware or airtime and works with phones purchased through any mobile operator.
Running Fring or looking for a FREE alternative to Skype's own client? Head on over and check it out :(

So, aside from the VOIP functionality, would this be able to essentially replace applications like Agile Messenger for IM use over standard data connection?
