Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Formerly one of the most popular and customizable third-party clients for AOL Instant Messager, Adium faded from the public eye during development. The supercharged new version emerges from hibernation as Adium X. It supports multiple services, including AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Napster. Part of what made the original Adium so attractive was its multitude of options, which still forms the core of this revision. The latest version improves the contact list and features a refined, tabbed interface. Under the hood, the program is now powered by the same open-source core as Linux client GAIM. Despite some quirks, Adium X should please fans of the original and snare new chat aficionados.Publisher's description
From Adam Iser :The Adium team is proud to present to you Adium X, a multiple-protocol instant-messaging client. This is a culmination of a yearlong rewrite of Adium, which now utilizes Libgaim (the core part of GAIM) to connect to multiple protocols, and also is based on a new plug-in architecture. Partial address-book integration, cool-looking tabs, multiple protocols for instant messaging, and a compact contact list are some of the many features of the new Adium X. Some core features include support for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, Trepia, Napster, and Gadu-Gadu; unlimited accounts; as many names on as many services as you want; draggable tabs; any number of tabs in any number of windows; highly customizable yet intuitive preferences; address-book integration; iTunes and other AppleScript substitution buddy icons and away messages in AIM; and the beginnings of file-transfer support for AIM, Yahoo, and Jabber.

Version: Adium X 0.76
"love it....it's all you need, in one...."
Pros: it has every type of messaging service into one...very cool idea and helps alot! if you have those friends who ONLY use aim, or who ONLY use msn messenger or whatever...
also, all messages are kept separate but in the same box, its cleaner, and doesn't leave windows up everywhere, if u like to have conversations with more than one person.
Cons: i probably haven't used it long enough to know what's wrong with it, because i can find nothing that i DONT like about it....but yes, it is a little complex to figure out

Version: Adium X 0.76
Pros: It is extremely customizable, and many themes for the Adium's various parts are available. It integrates well with OS X
Cons: It is not nearly as integrated as iChat. I can not paste pictures in and send them, and file transfer doesn't seem to work very well.
