Perhaps one of the best instant messaging clients in the AppStore and perhaps one of the most expensive instant messaging clients in the AppStore just released a nice update to BeejiveIM — Support for custom background images and support for Facebook IM. Along with those nice implementations they have taken anti-piracy measures so the application isn’t wildly cracked and distributed illegally.
The new version of BeejiveIM includes:
- Support for Facebook IM, including the ability to login from multiple locations, update your buddy picture and update your Facebook status.
- Wallpaper selection inside the application. Ability to select your own wallpaper.
- Performance enhancements.
- Small UI enhancements.
The good folks of Beejive have told MobileCrunch:
We have recently implemented new anti-piracy measures in BeejiveIM for iPhone. We have tried to keep our approach fun with an error message and a video. But we hope our message is clear: please respect the work of developers.
If you happen to pirate BeejiveIM then the following screenshot may look familiar to you:
You’ll see that error and be taken to a Office Space YouTube video.
If you did pirate BeejiveIM, then buy a legit copy. It’s very expensive for a IM client but its worth every cent if you’re a heavy IM user.
