New AIM Triton Beta

[Jeff]

AOL has released a new AIM Triton beta:

A new version of the AIM® Triton beta software is available for download. The new version number of the software is 1.2.70.1.

This build is our second Preview candidate and we encourage you to test it thoroughly and report any issues you find no matter how small. Use the Message Boards and/or Bug Report form to report your issues

The AIM Phoneline service is now available to various locations. It offers you a free phone number and AOL voicemail at no charge. Please sign up for the service if your location qualifies and send us your comments and bugs about the service.

As usual, we thank you for your diligent testing efforts and look forward to working with you on future AIM Triton beta releases.

Thanks to John Beatty of OriginalIcons for passing on the news.

It stinks !
Simply because it's another of the few extremely arrogant - or maybe myopic - sites that is ACTUALLY set for USA residents only, but doesn't appear to bother mentioning this anywhere - until you reach the setup stage, where it STILL doesn't say, but just refuses to accept any Zip Code other than a 5 digit one. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

(I'm not completely naive - I suspected it would be US-only from the start, but I DO think they should have the common decency to make that clear on their site. They DO list detailed "requirements", hardware etc, but no mention of "US-only" in there).

AOL, you try to capture the American market then - just let MSN, Skype, Yahoo, etc carry on grabbing the WORLD !! :-P
