[Adium-devl] Adium iPhone

[George Armah]

Good question ... and I just realized I don't have a compelling answer 
for that ...
Except for the reason that Adium users who are using the free desktop 
app would most likely be expecting a free iPhone app.

It would possibly be a better idea to raise funds for the project rather 
than sell the iPhone app. It would garner user interest on the one hand 
but might also set unreasonable expectations on the other hand.
