I have this device, got it from compgeeks a couple weeks ago or so during their saturday sale & free shipping promotion. It's a neat little device, and one of the major reasons I bought it was because there is some work being done to "hack" the unit to allow for other IM protocols rather than just AIM.

But until then, I started writing on my own AIM bot from scratch that I could use from the IMFree to grab info like weather, stocks, news, and even remote program execution and winamp control. 🙂

there's a base station that hooks up to your pc via usb, which communicates wirelessly to the IMFree handheld itself.

Edit: Compgeeks has it for $19 + shipping

dead aim? I'm not sure what you mean.


Also, compgeeks is having their greenlight sale right now. So the IMFree is now $14.99 @ the geeks.

Woot had these for like $14 with no rebate a few weeks back. Got one for my daughter for a stocking stuffer.

I've heard really bad things about TigerDirect. Is there a big risk that there will be problems with the order and/or the rebate?
