Download Trillian for iOS 2.0.259

Cerulean Studios has released a new version of its chat program Trillian for Apple’s mobile operating system. The program was first called Trillian for iPhone, but because it also runs fine on the iPad, the name has been changed to Trillian for iOS. New in version 2.0, which is now a universal app for both iPhone and iPad, is a launchpad that provides quick access to your most important contacts. Furthermore, the secure TLS connection is now used for all communications and not just for passwords. The full release notes look like this:

What’s New in Version 2.0.259

We are pleased to introduce Trillian 2.0! Some of the great features in this huge update include:

• Launchpad: Trillian’s new launchpad lets you keep up with the people most important to you at a single glance. Don’t worry, your contact list is still readily available, searchable, and sortable according to your personal preferences.
• Address book: Trillian can now optionally import names and photos from your address book. Make your launchpad shine by showcasing beautiful photos of your contacts.
• Security: We’ve taken additional steps to secure all traffic coming from Trillian using TLS, meaning all of your chats are now protected from third-party eavesdropping.
• User interface: Almost every screen of Trillian has been touched up and polished, from minor graphic updates to ensuring orientation changes are as smooth as silk.
• Notifications: Chat windows now support in-window notifications to let you easily read messages from more than one person at a time.
• Mobile indicator: As a special bonus for those of you that use the Trillian chat network, we’ve added an optional mobile indicator to let your friends know when you’re on the phone.
• Save outgoing pictures: A common request, you can now instruct Trillian to save photos as you send them to others, ensuring you never lose a funny photo again.
• New emoticons: We’ve polished up our existing emoticons and added a whole bunch of new ones for your chatting pleasure.
• Invites: You can now invite your friends to use Trillian from within the app if you have their phone number. Even cooler, when your friends join Trillian and approve your add request they will automatically sign online without the need to exchange usernames!
• And: Support for the iPad? you got it! The new version of Trillian is now a universal app, and we’ve created a very unique iPad-only user interface that we think you’ll really enjoy.
