I'm looking for something more along the lines of a standalone app, not just running some IM client through Linux.

Linux will have to do for now

Some friends and I are currently working on something similar, it still has a long way to be finished though and is still in development. The current plans are for it to have the following features: FTP Client\Server, Instant Messaging (MSN and Yahoo, we may add some more when were done), Bittorrent Client, and a full fledged web browser with javascript, flash, video(wmv, avi, and mpeg), and audio(mp3, wma, wav, and midi) support.
And were missing a name for it, but we'll manage :beer: . Be patient.

-the webbrowser is almost finished, and i say "almost" since some bugs need to be nailed out.
-the bittorent client is almost finished too, thanks to the azaerus source code. It has been a difficult time porting java to c++ though
.-the messenger app is still in early development though. we are trying to figure out a way of makin it easy to chat, since most of us dont have keyboards on our xboxes and using the built-in virtual keyboard is a pain in th arse when it comes to chat. Any ideas or suggestions e-mail me: [email protected].
The rest of the features are finished, although some bugs may still be hiding somewhere. when were finished with every feature, and after running a bug hunting test on our xboxes, we will do a beta test program. This will come in about 3 or 4 more months though.
I will later be using other tread on this forum to post screenshots or vids of the app, so stay tuned...

Too lazy to email, but why not have something akin to a cell phone text messaging dealie...ie have a keypad where you hit the number that has the letter you want and as you keep typing more letters, it senses which words you are typing and changes the jumble of letters to that? Sorry for the vague description, maybe someone else can explain it better. Seems a bit difficult, but I'm sure there's code for it out there somewhere that you could 'borrow' :)

We thought of that, we are implementing your idea in a diffenernt way. We are going to try to get the headset working to voice chat on the messenger, such as in the msn messenger.(there is no opensource for the headset, as for the xdk, it includes small support for the xbl headset in the field we are going to use it. So we will try our best to get it working.)

In regards to your not wanting to type with a virtual keyboard why not make the contoller functions into letter for example and then for the rest of the buttons make l or r a shift button.
(IMG:http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b218/EverestX/Keyset.jpg)
Shitty rep of a conroller .... abcd on dpad, efgh on left analog, ijkl on right analog, mnop on abxy, L or R equals a shift key to make A = q b=r c=s etc etc.
This is kinda difficult to explain but it would be a hell of alot easier in the end then having to use an OSK (on screen keyboard) But that's jsut an Idea from me.

All programmers had to start from nothing. I'm sure when Xport and Lantus first released, people were like who do these jokers think they are? Just be grateful people are still willing to learn Xbox programming, not require proof...

Anywho doesn't matter. I got my pc and thats all I need for MSN Messenger 
Post by: Master Reefed on December 06, 2005, 07:36:00 AM
it takes less than a minute, to boot into XDSL(Linux), then I have MSN,Yahoo,and AIM right there on my desktop. I can also surf the web, while playing music, and FTP WHILE I'm on my messenger
So why would anyone waste their time making a messenger, thats just a messenger (one process atta time XBOX...remember?
XDSL is less than 50 megs on your E drive, and turns your XBOX into a fully functional Linux PC.
