Yahoo! has just released their native Yahoo! Messenger application for iPhone and iPod Touch via the application store. Other than the basic text chatting, the application also allows you to share photos with your friends. According to the feature list, “If you have to leave the app for whatever reason, like a call comes in or you click a link in an IM that takes you to Safari, the Yahoo! Messenger for iPhone app will keep you signed in but change your status to idle. That way you can continue to receive messages and provided you return to the app within ten minutes, pick up where you left off.”
