China: QQ for iPhone Updated to version 2.5
Talk about popular things in China! China’s most popular IM protocol is neither MSN / Windows Live Messenger nor AOL Instant Messenger (or MobileMe), but rather — a locally-made chat program called Tencent QQ, or more simply known as “QQ”. Have no idea how popular the thing is? There is a car out there called the QQ. Now we’ve no idea if Tencent (the company behind QQ) actually made it.
But we digress. Chinese Mac site Beijing Mac House has it that QQ for iPhone 2.5 has been released. The equally popular iPhone (from outside the mainland, of course) is what you need to run QQ for iPhone — and the app works great on WAP (CMNET and CMWAP) as well as over wifi. The interface also looks pretty good.
In terms of new updates, QQ for iPhone 2.5 adds support for saving QQ groups, improves chat transcripts, has a new feature for blocking individual group messages, and sports a better interface. Bugs, including those regarding logon, special characters, emoticons and group lists, have also been quashed. Now that we’ve you mouthwatering away digitally, it’s best to let you download it.
