hey guys this is Adam lien with Pacquiao
comm one of the things I was hoping for
in Windows Phone 7 was a really good
Windows Live Messenger app fortunately
we got this other one from some third
party and the first version was really
not so great at all it's been updated
recently and so let's check it out right
here so this is messenger by Iowa and
the first version didn't work in the
background it was really buggy and
crashy
so here we have an updated version 1.2
let me see a different background here
and we can scroll and sometimes it shows
pictures so that's good I guess I wish
it showed them all time and we have
conversations status update in the
settings you've got the usual suspects
but here we go
background notifications so now it's got
pushed notifications so I don't have to
be in this to get a message which is
great I think it's back out a little so
say I am back on the start page and I
send a message
there we go we got a notification and so
tapping it will relaunch the program
since it's not actually running the
background and then we can see the
message so that's really nice that we
have background instant messaging now
unfortunately this messenger does not do
multiple sign-on points of presence so
you know if you sign on it'll log you
off of all the other devices that you've
been signed on to and there's not much
else here you're not emoticons you can
add people to the conversation you can't
send pictures can't send video message
you can't watch routing messages there's
lots of stuff still missing but at least
it works in the background oh we also
don't have live tiles so this is just a
static tile you know you know game II
notifications of how many messages are
so still a lot of work but at least you
got notifications that's it for that
