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 1.1.2 adds preference to turn off the contact list animations and offer an enhanced interface. Version 1.1.4 includes unspecified updates.
What's new in this version:
Version 1.1.4 includes unspecified updates.

Version: Adium X 1.1.4
Pros: I have been using Adium for a few months. I like it because it accesses more than just on instant messenger carrier. I like it because it is FREE and it works pretty well. I have no major problems with it.
Cons: I would like to see it camera/video ready as are I chat and AIM. Instead of asking if I want to make Adium my main IM client, put the choice to do so in preferences.
So I could decide or undecide when I want to. I'm worried if I say never to the pop up alert, I won't know how to change it back.
