Windows Live Messenger App for iPhone due in June

After Yahoo Messenger was introduced for the iPhone Platform in August last year, Microsoft bucked up and has now launched Windows Live Messenger app for the iPhone Platform. Neowin, a technology news portal, got lucky to get the exclusive first screenshots of Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone OS. Microsoft is planning to release Windows Live Messenger for iPhone in June this year just after releasing Windows Live Wave 4 suite.

Though Microsoft is busy working on the Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system, the company ensures that iPhone OS based device owners also get some MSN services. At this moment, owners of iPhone and iPod Touch devices make use of third party multiple-login-at-once apps to connect with their Windows Live contacts.

The new Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone would essentially be a stripped down version of Windows Live Messenger for desktop. File sharing wouldn't be available but users would be able to upload photos. The Windows Live Messenger app will have a Social tab that will show up the status and activity updates of the user's contacts. And then, there would be Friends list and Chat tab. Photos get a separate tab for viewing, uploading and sharing.

Yahoo has a standalone Yahoo Messenger for iPhone while Google Talk is available as a web app. We ought to wait till June to get our hands on the Windows Live Messenger app for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices.
