AIM® lets you stay connected with your friends right on your iPhone or iPod Touch. AIM is more than an instant messaging service - it's a better way to connect. Mobile AIM lets you communicate whenever you want, wherever you are, in whatever way that suits you best. Connect with friends and family and keep track of status and presence updates in real time, whether they are using AIM, AOL, .mac, or MobileMe.
AIM can work over WiFi, EDGE, or 3G Networks. (WiFi only for iPod Touch) You can manage your Buddy List® feature, choose Favourites, or add a new buddy anytime. Your changes are automatically synced with iChat and or Windows or Mac. You can also send SMS text messages - even from an iPod Touch (However this will not work in all countries).

I'm glad that there's finally a proper AIM application for my iPod Touch, cause using a Web-App just isn't the same. This works pretty well but it's not perfect. It would be nice to have the ability to type on the keyboard in landscape mode as this is faster, and also the interface is a little bit iffy.
Also, at the moment if you leave the application then you don't get any of those alert icon things (as what happens when you receive a message in Mail) which Apple promised, although this feature is coming in an update from Apple soon. (September I think.)
Anyway, it should only improve, and it's certainly worth having this app.
