Shape Services is announcing the latest upgrade to their IM+ mobile instant messaging client for BlackBerry. IM+ provides for multi-chat integration including GTalk, AIM, iChat, MSN, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, MySpace IM and Facebook. Instead of loading different chat clients to your BlackBerry you use IM+ to coververse with friends via one program. The IM+ software is also unique for its “push chat” capabilities which allow you to completely log off – saving battery life – yet still receive notification of incoming chat requests.

This functionality is added via integration to Yap which is a voice to text platform enabling IM+ users to dictate their instant messages and send them as text to chat contacts.The beta version is slated to debut this week at Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES) in Orlando, FL and the full release should be out by May 2009.
