[Adium-devl] Adium iPhone

[Ofri]

It seems like I'm the only one, but I honestly think an intuitive, hot  
looking, IM client for the iPhone, even if it has to connect every  
time you open it, is very useful. I find myself many times wishing I  
had Adium on the iPhone for a few minutes of chat. And being  
realistic, optimize as long as you wish with push notifications and  
whatnot, but if the user is going to "turn on" the device once every  
few minutes, send a message, and put it back to sleep the battery is  
going to drain pretty fast.
