For Jabber there is loqui: http://loqui.im/ http://loqui.im/ It already works pretty good on my peak :) (although I am not using it that much) According to the author it should get a new release next Tuesday 15.10.2013: https://github.com/waalt/loqui/issues/54 https://github.com/waalt/loqui/issues/54

What's the battery life like when using loqui? When not implemented well, XMPP clients can be a real drain on battery because of the polling and other frequent protocol messages.

  I can't really say. Until it completely broke my connectivity I was using the nightly builds and there were sometimes other problems with the battery life (like wireless not really sleeping) so it's not easy to say if the drains were caused by loqui or other stuff. On the newest 1.2 image I have no data connectivity and can only use it with wifi. As that is normally in places where I have a stationary desktop with a client I am not really using it at the moment.

  I think they just implemented the push api (1.2?) without push anything like this will drain battery. so the clients will be decent battery wise (on par with android I suppose) 1.2 onwards i guess..

I'm confused by their page mentioning SSL, is this a normal xmpp client or some form of cloud proxy to my actual server?

  Nevermind, it's probably going to come some day, but right now it's through a proxy: «Currently all connections are made through the open BOSH gateway at http://app.loqui.im/http-bind http://app.loqui.im/http-bind but soon the app should be able to detect wether user's account provided has its own BOSH server and connect to it and if not, connect to a open BOSH from its country. In longer term, connections should be made through javascript TCPSockets API, avoiding the need for BOSH servers and thus improving performance and reliability.» I really want to love the WebAPI idea, but until it can do actual TCP/IP, it's dead to me. (And I have a Peak! :/)
