Java version of ICQ was supplemented by Agent Mail.Ru protocol

    It seems that the buyback of the ICQ instant messaging service by DST from AOL is slowly affecting the messenger itself. Previously, information was published on Habr that the service was transferred to Moscow servers, now there is one more news. The fact is that a mobile version of ICQ in Java was released, which differs from the "twin" ones by the support of the Mail.Ru Agent protocol. It is worth noting that this is not a multi-protocol messenger created by a third party, there are many of these, but the official ICQ client.

    According to the service, the new client was created using some of the best practices of Mail.Ru Agent, its mobile versions. Now, users of the ICQ mobile client can significantly expand the audience with which they can communicate. Another nice feature of the ICQ Java client is the presence of an email client that allows you to work with several Mail.ru accounts at once. There are other functions, including support for Jabber, which opens up the possibility of communication with users of VKontakte, messengers LJTalk and Ya.Onlayn.

    “The future of communication projects, in our opinion, is in mutual integration and the formation of a single environment for communication, within which users can not think about what specific service they work with - by mail, messenger or social network. The new version of ICQ is unique not only in that it fully complies with this modern trend - it is very important that its rich functionality is available specifically to users of the mobile Internet, which is now one of the fastest growing and most sought-after destinations, ”commented the release of the new client, Alexander Gorny, head ICQ in Russia.

    There is also an archive of messages that can be viewed in the mobile version, the ability to customize the appearance of the ICQ mobile client. You can fight off spammers with the built-in AntiSpam service. The mobile client is available for owners of many models of mobile phones from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG and some others.
