Yahoo! Messenger for iPhone Released; Doesn't Work on 1st Generation iPod touch

Yahoo! released…

Yahoo! Messenger 1.0

…for the iPhone. As its name implies, it provides a native iPhone app for the classic Yahoo! instant messaging system. I found a problem with it right away: It doesn’t work on a 1st generation iPod touch with the current 2.2.1 firmware. Yahoo! Messenger starts up but goes on to endlessly attempt to connect to the IM service (see the screenshot above). It does, however, work fine on an iPhone 3G.

No one I know who still uses the system was online when I fired it up on the iPhone 3G.
