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 1.2.1 includes several feature enhancements and bug fixes.

Version: Adium X 1.2.1
"One of the best bundled chat clients for Mac OS X"
Pros: I'm a bit of a customizing freak, and I love that Adium allows almost every part to be skinned and designed exactly the way you want it without any complicated coding or stupid limitations. I've found Adium to be very easy to use and it offers all the abilities I want. Overall, I really love Adium.
Cons: If you're not going to use it for several different chat protocols, it can be excessively bulky and slow. I'd also love it if Adium included IRC support. Occasionally Adium gets temperamental, but that's rare and usually restarting fixes the problem.
