UPDATE:
We replaced this iPhone version with the eBuddy Lite Messenger (http://m.ebuddy.com) . This runs faster and has all basic chat features. It also lets you sign in all your accounts at once.
It might look less flashy than previous iPhone version, but bearing in mind the sometimes very slow mobile internet connections, you get a faster client and more features this way.
We will add new features on a regular basis and also plan to make more iPhone specific adaptations.
Please stay tuned and check our blog for updates. Some exiting iPhone news coming up soon!
We pride ourselves with our work on the multi network version of our application as well as our availability on 300+ mobile phone types. With the release of the iPhone we of course feel that it can not be left behind.Europe, The Netherlands in particular, still has no concrete dates as to when the iPhone is going to be released, so we had to resort to eBay and earlier this week we finally received our very own iPhone. After some creative engineering to get the unit working (no AT&T in europe 
) our AJAX guys took it.
After a lot of playing with it work we are happy to announce the availability of one of the most advanced web-based multi network chat clients for the iPhone. Just point your iPhone to eBuddy (http://www.ebuddy.com) and you will be sent to a special landing page from where you can enter our application in iPhone mode and chat using MSN, AIM or Yahoo.
This version is marked as Alpha quality (or experimental if you will), so if you find any bugs or experience strange behavior, please let us know via feedback@ebuddy.com or press the feedback button in the application itself.
First I have to say, eBuddy is the best IM I saw on iPhone. I’ve already test eBuddy once I got my iPhone, but seems we still have the same problem now.
Since mobile Safari don’t have a scroll bar any more(windowless), so I can’t scroll my contact list as usual we use in IE/FireFox/Safari. We have to flick the entire content up or down to find our content.
Just check the following picture from Apple developer site.
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/images/noscroll.png
hope to see eBuddy coming to be best web IM in the world.

very glad to meet anyone here,very nice website and give us the stage to communication.thanks
hey e-budy,
first i’d like to say how good it is and
i can go on it any time if my namal msn
dosnt work lol
so just a little thanks to all of you for makeing this a good sight

@gunsmith: luckily, you CAN scroll your contacts list!
What you have to do is place two fingers on the touchscreen, next to each other, and make your usual scrolling movement. You’ll see the rest of your contacts list appear from the bottom of your screen.
Our next release will have a contacts list that can be scrolled normally (with one finger)…
Thank you so much for your feedback! (I want more…)
Cheers,
Mike.
@Mike,
Thanks, i didn’t know iPhone can use two fingers to scroll in a window.
I have another question. Sometime using eBuddy it will stuck on the “Building conact tree” and never get into it.

Johnson
Hey eBuddy! I’m absolutely in love with the new iPhone web-interface & AIM service.
I was wondering if there was a way to set a custom away message..? When I click the status changer, it allows me to be “Available” or “Away,” but I also notice if I click the little bubble, I can input text. But even when I do that, it doesn’t make that my status message.
I don’t know if this is a blooper, but custom away messages would be great! >:]
Thanks!
- drea.lorraine
@gunsmith: you’re welcome
The case that you’re stuck looking at the spinner when you login will also be fixed in the next iPhone version.
@Drea: thanks for your compliments! I will try to squeeze custom away messages into the next version
I’m also trying to find out what you all like better: a native, iPhone-looks, interface, or the eBuddy style.
Please let me know!

@Mike, Awesome! I can’t wait, :]!
I also like the eBuddy style, but some iPhone-interfaces look pretty weird. For one, I absolutely dislike the “drop-down” list style contact list. I like being able to view your contact list with away messages, etc. I like the eBuddy style, though. It’s cool with the tabs & all.

yadda,
Gtalk support was recently added to the normal version of our multi network chat client, however it will take some time still before this feature is available in the iphone version.

Does this work on the iPod touch too?
Is this compatible with the new ipod touch?
Does this work on the iPod touch?
That would be great though!
I really do prefer the Ebuddy theme for your MSN. Just cos everyone else wants you to feel like its a standalone app, I like it like this, its cool and sleek and the tabs are definately a great idea.
I’m getting stuck at the “builing contacts tree..” most of the times
Tried reboot phone, and same thing..
The times I get int though, it looks great!
Does this work on the ipod touch?? please reply…im trying but it seems to load to the usual ebuddy page, and it doesn’t seem to be working,..i read on another forum that ebuddy apparently works for iPhone AND iPod Touch…is this true??
how do u scroll dwn.. my whole page sort of looks squashed and when i am talking it goes behind where i type.. i cant use it.. looks brill tho..will it be fixed… also i have to use another account because the other wont sign in.. will this be fixed soon

I signed on to my MSN messenger from ebuddy but I can only recieve messages from people and when I try to write back or click the send button it doesn’t work,the send button doesn’t even click its like sending a message is not even an option. Please write back,Thanx,Lindsay
I had the same problem with the scrolling but then i figured out that if u use 2 fingers to scroll ull manage to read the convos and go thru ure entire list. its pretty neat.
I type ebuddy.com on my iPhone and it doesnt show the website i just get the normal mobile site

i use nokia 9300 it supoort it or what?
Hi , i have some questions about you desing
maybe you can give designer contacts?
I loved the ebuddy app for nokia, used to use it all the time. But now I have an iphone I wish there was a proper iphone ebuddy app! How come there’s a downloadable app for blackberry and not iphone?
I know there’s the mobile internet version, but it’s just not the same, not as fast or streamlined, and just not as good… Please, make a proper app for iphone!
Hello,
I’m new here and willing to learn a lot.
Just to be sure: the iPhone version that we had to pleasure to translate in the last few weeks is a proper standalone eBuddy app (from the App Store)? I had the feelieng that since Push Notifications for Apps is released in iPhone OS 3, eBuddy would make a version that uses it (so the user can leave the app, but when a new incoming message arrives, a new notification pops up).
Am I right? Please please please please, that would be a selling point (for buying an iPhone) for me.
Thank God for ebuddy:0) and i too hate winter…
Hello, when you go to ebuddy on iphone and it takes you to a special site of ebuddy made for iphone, what is that website?

Good day,
I’ve been using ebuddy for gmail, msn and facebook for several months now on my iPhone 3G. Since last week, my Gmail account is “stuck” in ebuddy. It looks to others like my Gmail account is open (through ebuddy) when its not.
I’ve tried rebooting my iphone 3G (version 3.01) but still stuck. I also removed ebuddy from my iphone, but I still look online (again on ebuddy) when contacts look at their gmail chat list.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Regards.
Hi ebuddy,

Please help or give any advise?
Miki

As of Monday Jan 11, my problem of “stuck ebuddy accompte” seams corrected.I am no longer stuck and when I do log on ebuddy, the account closes a few second after it’s been close on my iPhone.

Ebuddy please fix it. I cannot use your apps after spending some cash. I went back using meebo instead and its free. Why did I ever hook up with you application if I cannot even login!
And I cannot login with facebook… very frustrating.

Scene2: I relogin and then what?? It takes forever in loading…. Goodness
You should have update you program last April 1 and all will be april fools.

MSN contacts not showing up in ebuddy pro and ebuddy (free) it has been over 2 weeks now! eBuddy’s not even bothering to address this issue, I see many people have complained about this already. For some decency sake issue a response for the public please!
Toubleshooting Steps I’ve taken:
-I was able to login with another MSN account and all the contacts displayed successfully.
-GMAIL & YAHOO contacts display without any problems for me.
-I’ve tried deleting the account from my iphone & itunes and reloading everything back - no luck.
-On eBuddy web I have the same problem as on my iphone, my msn contacts are not being displayed.
-I received a message from a friend but still cannot view any contacts on my list, whether online/offline/blocked.
eBuddy staff/support team - say something!!!
I can’t receive calls while I’m chatting or opening ebuddy.what do I do?
I fell stupid cause I didn’t read this page before buying the application. It froze and never started again. I have tryed soft, hard reset and nothing brings it back. I hope the ebuddy team will haver an answer for this asup.

Just updated eBuddy (22 July 2010). Now, I am getting duplicates in my contacts list. What I mean is when I look at my list of online buddies, some appear twice! And they’re not on different networks (e.g. facebook/MSN) - they’re appearing twice on the same network! Only some buddies are doing this and not all of them.
Any ideas?
