A Peek into the Future : Adium 2.0

adium-iconLooks like everyone’s favorite IM client on the Mac, Adium will be getting a major upgrade following the launch of upgrade. Most notable new feature is ofcourse AV Chat on Adium.  The Adium team has been busy and you can expect Adium 2 to be released very soon.

Adium is the most used IM Client on OS X, but for a long due to inevitable comparisons with Apple’s own iChat, Adium lacked AV Chat and finally it is going to trump iChat in all respects.

Well this release has taken particularly more time than the previous release, but this is because of the dependency of Adium on the Pidgin Project for its core functionality. Pidgin also seems to be getting some nice upgrades.

Well here is a screenshot of Adium that has got the redefined Leopard look that looks a lot more cleaner and well laid out,

Well I am sure you are impressed with the new layout. But wait, there is something more. I am going to show you a screenshot of a Video Chat in progress,

Well that does look really amazing, doesn’t it!. If you are one of those impatient people who can’t wait until Adium is officially out, the SVN to svn://svn.adiumx.com/adium/branches/adium-2.0-vv/ and you should be able to pick up the latest build.

If you are an Adium fan, let us know in the comments. Is there anything that you would like to see in Adium.

How to open svn link? firefox says "don't know how to handle this"

any please help me!!

El Gato, if you've seen the screenshots for Trillian on the mac, you wouldn't say that.

how can i open a svn link?

You know...i took a really long look at Leopard today, found a massive review on Ars Technica written by an obvious Mac fan. And while I'm not about to ditch Linux or my trusty PC any time soon, I have to admit that Leopard at least *looks* lovely. That screenie you've posted of Adium is no exception.

And speaking of Pidgin (since it is my current IM client of choice), i wonder if they too will be getting video-chat in the near future....

Sad... It is going in the tremendously childish direction of iChat. Thankfully, Trillian is moving onto the Mac platform.

Where can I ge it?
The link is broken.

@Alan, that guy looks cute doesn't he.. Just Kidding.. !!

@Rob, Adium is way better than trillian in my opinion. Try it and you will love it..

agree with u alan..haha lol lol

lol, could they have picked a better looking guy for the screen dumps?

looks promising... Been missing for a while!

As a soon-to-be-Mac-currently-a-PC user, I have been very interested in what multi-client IM app would come out on top, of course that field was and still is fairly slim. Aside from Adium, I am excited about the new Mac version of Trillian which could be very promising.
