Wireless instant messaging is coming to more cellphones, and a new IM option gives subscribers the ability to share pictures instantly.
In one development, RIM announced that it's working with Yahoo and AOL to expand the selection of RIM BlackBerries with instant messaging options. A third-party developer offers an IM solution for the Blackberry 7100t, but the company wants to bring IM to "as many BlackBerries as possible," a spokeswoman said.

For the visually oriented, AOL launched instant picture messaging through Cingular. AOL expects other carriers to adopt the service in the first half.
