iPhone Application Watch: Sparkle IM

There's a new chat and communications tool in iPhone town, and it's called Sparkle IM. It's not for your everyday, real-world instant messaging clients though.

Created by Genkii, Sparkle IM allows access to Second Life and Opensim virtual worlds over Wi-Fi or 3G.

Of course, you wouldn't expect it to offer full access to all the processor-intensive stuff that you usually need a beefy computer to access, but what you can do is send and receive IMs, send and receive offline IMs, do region chat, send teleport requests, accept friend requests, and change your start location.

If you can't get enough of your virtual world of choice when you're on the move, Sparkle IM might be for you. It costs $4.99 (£2.99) from the iTunes Store.
