Josep just sent me a link to a new portal on RIM’s website for all the native RIM Instant Messaging applications. The applications are still restricted to specific carriers by service books but if your carrier does support them the links are now all in one place.

I installed the new version of Viigo after we mentioned the update earlier this week. I have used Viigo everyday since it was called NewsClip back in the day. This makes it hard to write the following criticism. The software is free and does work like a charm…BUT (This is a big one)
