This is Beejive for Android [Video]

The beta application for Beejive is going out to more users right now. Though it was originally intended for only 400 people, Beejive has since expanded that testing group to include more Android users who previously requested access to the instant messaging app.
Beejive is a multi-platform instant messaging application that allows people to keep in touch with friends no matter what method they choose (provided you also have an account registered with that service). Rather than require downloading multiple chat apps for AIM, Facebook, MSN, et al., Beejive integrates all of your chat accounts into one convenient place.
The Android beta attracted quite a bit of attention, so I figured that you all might want to at least know what it looks like. The app supports sending voice notes, sending files, sending to the Android “share” function, and sending instant messages, of course. There’s a whole lot of sending going on.
UPDATE: I assumed this was a closed beta but the download link is being passed around like a a cigarette, so Download and enjoy. Here’s a tutorial for how to install an APK if you’ve never done it.

I can not find the .apk in the zip file. Has it been removed?
How does this compare to Trillian? They are also in Beta.
There is no way to set an audio notification. What good is it if you don't know someone sends you an IM?
I'll stick with eBuddy. It does all the same services, but better.
Beejive needs to put some more work into this one.
You're not very bright. That is why it's a closed beta version.
well, I got an instant force close before I could get past the opening screen. What am I doing wrong? Any advice? I'm on an unrooted mytouch 3g…
got it installed but there are no connections
Well….I downloaded it but keep getting force closes….I can't add any accounts or anything. I can't imagine the beta is really this bad…..
No problems here on my rooted HTC Incredible. Audio notifications, all accounts working, no FC's whatsoever.
I'm a Trillian fanboy, but this may be a winner.
booo no more! i needa download link!
I just installed it in my HTC Hero flashed to Cricket and it seems to work fine so far. I can log into msn, yahoo and facebook which are the ones Im interested in. I would just add voice calls to make it absolutely perfect.
The APK file does not appear after unzipping.
Never Mind. I removed the .ZIP from the file name and it works fine.
Keep checking the link above because the awesome developers at Beejive are still updating it. I had version 0.9.6.15 from the above link installed from September 3rd. I checked it today (September 19th), downloaded it, installed it, and now I’m at version 0.9.8.99 and they have added a Shutdown item to their menu. I can’t wait until it’s finished so I can buy this excellent IM client. Love it on my BlackBerry. Gonna love it on my Droid X 2.1-update1. It’s worth the purchase. I hope the Android 2.2 update doesn’t kill it, whenever they decide to push it.
Just checked and they've updated the beta to 0.9.9.1 (September 23, 2010). They now have pictures at the top for Buddy List, Chats, and Accounts. There is a Buddy Group View filter and an Emoticons button in the Chat window that I don't recall seeing before.
When I had my BlackBerry awhile back, I bought Beejive, and was very pleased with it's overall look & performance as an all-in-one messenger, even with it's hefty price tag. It was so worth the price….THEN! Now that I have moved on from a BB, and now have an Android device, I was missing my Beejive, and anxiously awaited for it's release….UNTIL I realized I would have to pay for the app all over again, despite the read option to cross over the registration key, which at present time gives no option to do so within the Android Market. So, I have moved on to an all-in-one messenger app – TRILLIAN, that for some reason isn't available in the market (yet). It performs the same as Beejive, with optimum results, visually stunning interface (no bubbles here), and there's even a version for your desktop for both PC & Mac users. Best part….wait for it…WAIT FOR IT….it's FREE! Here's the link to their website for your free download. Suck it Beejive! http://bit.ly/9Luqbr
