I had been using the iPad for over 2 months now, and before the iPhone OS 4.0 with the background apps running capability, the iPad will always have problem being used as an instant messenging machine.
The best IM client I have used so far is IM+ lite, which is a free app. I don’t quite know what the paid version is better for, but the free one does the job for me.
The app has Twitter, google chat, msn, Facebook, yahoo, and a few more. It also has a web browser built in, so you don’t need to switch out for safari.
This app alone has been my only app open when at conferences. I can tweet up my notes, chat with my friends, and also browse online. All at the same time.
There are still some bugs, especially the web browser is soo slow and often crashes the app. Nonetheless, this is still one of the better free apps that i would use daily.
