Apple approving apps with push, Beejive goes live
You heard that right, folks. People complaining that Apple’s very-much-delayed push notification service might be delayed again can all relax — Beejive 3.0, the fantastic new version with push support will be going live in about an hour or so from now.
We exclusively gave you a look at Beejive for iPhone almost a year ago, and you have to give us some credit — we called it the best IM application for the iPhone, and were we right? Now think about push notifications and a whole slew of other additions and tweaks and you’re looking at a desktop-class IM application. We’ve been using a version with push for a pretty long time and can safely say it doesn’t disappoint. Here’s a breakdown of the new goodies and let us know when you try the new version!
- Push notifications
- Meta contacts (link IM buddies to address book entries!)
- Various UI enhancements, updated layout and color schemes
- Performance enhancements
Oh yeah, two more things… the price is now $9.99 (down from $15.99), and we’re testing a version that allows videos to be sent over AIM. (You could always send photos) Look for this in the near future.
That is great news. Finally.
this is an awesome app. glad for the upgrade. im+ and this one are the premier apps for IM on the iPhone platform.
Hell yeah!
I have been waiting for this since I update to 3.0. I can’t wait for it to go live.
Woo hooo! Fina-fucking-lly!
Erm – it’s live now.
It shows as an earlier version on the store, but just redownload and you’ll get 3.0. Works really well.
It’s about time

Hey everyone. Jokes aside, serious question. How come this app is so inexpensive for iphone, but for blackberry its 30?
yhhhh, contain the excitement, beejive was updated today but the update is not the much anticipated 3.0 update from what I can tell.
It’s up and available for an update on the app store. Finally!
I stand corrected, it didn’t say 3.0 on the appstore listing but sure enough the downloaded copy is 3.0… YAY notifications!
It is broke. Cannot log onto any service without error.
Downloading update as i type this.. thanks for the update BG!!
