I do believe that the best application on a mobile is the one that doesn't need to be downloaded and can be used in front of everyone. Until this is the case for mobile IM or Twitter, they are bound to stay niche. Tsahi Vitor,

SMS is P2P and Mobile IM, or any other kind of group messages, will be (as I believe) the true experience on messaging. IM is expensive because SMS is the cash cow on carriers, period. They only see the money, not a better user experience.
