The much talked-about updated Yahoo Messenger app for iPhone is now official, available via Apple’s App Store. The latest version (version 2.0) has included video and voice chat (streaming included) to your friends in Yahoo Messenger over Wi-Fi and 3G on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 models. The app however doesn’t support video calling on the iPhone Touch 4G!

The Yahoo Messenger 2.0 iPhone app has been upgraded to work with iOS 4.1.  The new features include IM, SMS messaging and notifications and ability to call your friends who are on Windows Live Messenger. This new version of Yahoo Messenger application for iPhone is touted by some as a real competitor to Apple’s FaceTime.
