I used AIM big time on my T-Mobile sidekick. It's something Danger did very well.

- digi_owl 11y agoGiven that the sidekick/hiptop was heavily reliant on servers (frankly the phone was dumb as a brick if the Danger servers were down), likely what they did was run a proxy of sorts that handled the actual AIM connection. You could have something similar on IRC by running a bouncer on a shell account somewhere, and aiming your client at it rather than the IRC servers. The bouncer would then stay connected as long as the shell server was running, and log any activity on the channels.
