Chat Programs
No, your eyes do not deceive you. That heading really says "Chat Programs."
Of course, the iPhone itself doesn't have any chat programs, like AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), Yahoo Messenger, or MSN Messenger. But that doesn't mean you have to remain chatless.
Thanks to Web sites like Meebo.com, Jivetalk.com, Beejive.com, and FlashIM.com, all of which are accessible from the Web browser on your iPhone, you can chat away with your buddies just as though you're at home on a computer. (Well, on a computer with a touchscreen keyboard two inches wide.)
