Yes, we belive so, although how tight it will be integrated in the phones 
is currently somewhat unclear. AOL is working HARD to get a physical AIM

We are providing backend services for this IM, with support for all major 
IM formats. It is not that common yet, and there is a reason. We really 
hope there will be a standard soon.
