AIM 4.0.2 and AIM (Free Edition) 4.0.2 are both now available in the iPhone App Store. As soon after we shipped AIM 4.0.1, we reviewed customer reviews on the iTunes and went to work on performance issues reported by some of our users.
Use App Store software update and you'll get the newest AIM for iPhone release. Please leave feedback below to let us know how it's working for you. We've gotten some reports of application stability and we're researching those issues as I type!
Thanks!

Anyone living in Northern Virginia, this Saturday, we'll be getting yet another Apple Store. Tyson's Corner, the home of the first Apple Store (opened May 15, 2001), is just a few miles down the Dulles Tollway to Reston, VA where Apple will be opening a brand-new Apple Store. Check out the AIM for iPhone icon playing on the Apple Store window display.
If you're near the area and have a few hours to burn with a few hundred of iPhone and Mac fans, stop by the Apple Store Reston on Saturday, August 15th before 10am. I'll be there and you can meet other AOL'ers who will be in attendance.
See you Saturday!

About The Team
Hi. I'm Edwin Aoki, and I'm a Technology Fellow at AOL. Contrary to popular belief (and wishful thinking) this doesn't mean I get to sit around and be fed grapes while thinking Deep Thoughts. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had any Deep Thoughts, let alone the last time anyone fed me grapes. But I'm thrilled to be part of the iPhone development effort at AOL, and I hope to provide some perspective on what it is we do here, why we do it, and to hear your thoughts on how we can do it better. You can follow my updates @edwinaoki.
Hi, I'm Christina Wick, Technical Director for the AOL Mac team. My team is responsible for the development and testing of all the desktop Mac applications as well as a bunch of iPhone apps including AIM, AOL Radio, SHOUTcast, touchTXT, and many more. I took over managing the Mac team a little over two years ago when AOL decided to "Get Back on the Mac." Since then, we have released numerous desktop products and iPhone apps. We look forward to bringing more exciting apps to the Mac community. I'm on Twitter, if you would like to follow me - @ChristinaWick.
My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac products at AOL and you can find me on the Mac@AOL blog too. When I'm not at the office, I'm probably in line at the local Apple Store whenever a new iPhone is released (actually, when anything from Apple is released :) I've been at AOL since 2007 and lead product management for Mac and iPhone apps. During my spare time, I collect vintage Macs (and Apple IIs) and root for the Univ. of Maryland Terps. If you would like to follow me, I'm at @MacGivens.
