MSN Mesenger for non-Microsoft phones

"Microsoft said on Tuesday that Openwave Systems, a maker of software for cell phones, would begin offering a feature allowing mobile phone users to access Hotmail and MSN Messenger while on the go. The world's largest software maker said that it had joined with Openwave to jointly develop software to be featured on the smaller company's latest version of specialized software for cell phones," reports Reuters.
