Homebrew coder theli has released a nifty new application for the DS, called JabberDS v0.3. As the name states, it's actually a Jabber client for the Nintendo DS.

Here's a list of features for the application:

* Should support any Jabber server (including GTalk)
* User definable keyboard layout
* User definable fonts (DSGUI's BFont format)
* Support for BDF fonts
* Supports any Unicode characters available in font
* Roster operation (Add/Remove/Rename/Subscribe/Unsubscribe contacts)
* Multi User Chat (now with bookmarks loading support)
* SSL/TLS support
* Support for user avatars in png format

Theli also notes that "there are no settings in UI.. all settings should be set in /data/jabberds.xml" and "there are examples and comments in supplied jabberds.xml".

The download doesn't have a readme, so we advise you to use caution in doing this application. That being said, it's certainly a very useful one if you like chatting on the internet. Enjoy!
