There are many alternatives to using Yahoo Messenger on the iPhone, but a native client that comes with the usual dash of purple and yellow should have many Yahooligans foaming at the mouth right now.  Most of the features from the desktop version have been carried over to the iPhone’s smaller screen including emoticons, avatars, custom status, invisibility, and the option to send SMS to contacts.  The application will also allow sending of pictures clicked using the iPhone’s camera.  Minimizing to the background is of course not possible as of now, but we will have to wait and see if OS 3.0 will facilitate that.

Look for it the next time you get on the iPhone AppStore.
