Shape Services just added Skype chat to their popular IM app earlier in the month and now they have added Twitter support. Pretty cool stuff if you use their client. I personally use the RIM clients for free but I even have a friend who uses IM+ simply to get IM without a BlackBerry data plan.
You can download the public Beta of IM+ for BlackBerry with Twitter features at the links below. If you do not already own a copy of IM+ you can pick one up in the store currently for a pricey $39.99.
Here are the links:
- OTA links are at wap.shapeservices.com
- Desktop download links

Where’s the $19.99 offer at? The link doesn’t go to a deal for $19.99. It’s $39.95 everywhere I look. I missed the last deal, so I’m trying to get in on this one.

Crap. It looks like I had the page cached on my PC since it was showing $19.99 still. I will correct that right now

Shucks! I was hoping it was on sale again! Oh well. I thought I was the second mouse getting the cheese. I’ve been beta testing the previous IM+ client with the Skype addition, so I guess I’ll test this one with Twitter now and hope they send me a free license for my feedback.

Yeah from what I hear they are pretty good about awarding licenses to active beta testers
