eBuddy

This tool/service's instant-messaging-on-the-mobile-platform capability is what makes it outstanding.

eBuddy is a web and mobile messenger which supports various instant messaging services including MSN Messenger, Yahoo! , AIM, Google Talk and MySpace IM. A competitor to Meebo and Koolim, eBuddy offers tab mode setting to differentiate chat windows - a feature similar to tabbed browsing. It supports multiple IM networks in one interface but loses to Meebo in its inability to log into multiple accounts at once.

The absence of file transfer, webcam interface, QQ protocol, and skinning features are banes to eBuddy since other similar tools offer them. Meebo, for example, supports file transfers. It even stores chat logs.

It's still great though given its speed, user-friendly interface, and outstanding performance on the mobile web platform.
