Microsoft Live Messenger app for iPhone [EXPOSED]

Where do you find the largest iTunes user base? On Windows. A large number of those users own an iPod touch or iPhone, and a similarly large number still use Live Messenger for chatting... so it really wasn't a surprise when news get around late last year that Microsoft was working on a Live Messenger app for the iPhone.

Now it looks like the app could be arriving soon. NeoWin's Tom Warren has posted a handful of images showing Live Messenger in action, and it looks pretty slick. Just about everything you can do on the desktop version you'll be able to do on your iPhone: chat, send files, check your social stream, browse photos, and more.

Yes, you can already chat with your Live Messenger from your iPhone using an app like Meebo, but Microsoft has some serious brand recognition. That and the familiar interface will no doubt be enough incentive to attract a lot of users to the app.

Warren seems optimistic that this will hit the app store some time in June, when Windows Live Wave 4's first public beta downloads are expected to arrive.
