AIM Triton is the coolest app I have ever seen on a windows machine. The UI is awesome. Anyone know if we will see this app on Mac OSX? Triton is the first IMngr that beats Adium in my opinion.

Any screenshots? What are the merits of this app over other clients? In what ways is it better than iChat or Adium?

I installed it on a friend's machine. It takes up huge amounts of screen real estate, has a poorly implemented "shiny" appearance, contains lots of annoying and unnecessary advertising "features," and just generally sucks like everything else AOL puts out these days. Does video conferencing but not compatible with iChat.

What's so great about it?

I've used it. I hate it. Can you say bloatware? Horrible interface. Tries to do too much. Also, when I tried it (I don't know if it still does) it came bundled with AOL Explorer which is the worst web browser I've ever seen... yet more bloatware, and it actually comes with a spyware scanner, which is just sad.
