We have a new update for the Xumii app on your phone and we’re going to deliver this straight to your handset the next time you open Xumii.
The next time you sign into Xumii, you’ll see this message:
You need to download the latest Xumii beta release – get it now!
Select Ok and you’ll next see the Xumii Download page. Just click on the “Download Xumii” link and you will get the latest version.
- This upgrade doesn’t affect the iPhone Mobile App.
- If you are a BlackBerry user just point your mobile web browser to http://m.xumii.com/get to download the update.
What’s new in this Update?
In “Group Chat” you’ll notice a new tab called “Public Groups”.
“Public Groups” is a great new beta feature that allows you to view and participate in public groups accessible by everyone, whether they have Xumii on their phone or not. P.C. users can view Xumii Groups on their web browsers.
Note: As Xumii Groups are still in beta, you’ll be able to view the public groups that you have created or have already joined within your Xumii Mobile App. You can join a group on the P.C. version.
Jennifer van Grove from the social networking blog Mashable took a test drive of our new iPhone app today in her post Xumii’s iPhone App Combines IM and Social Utility.
iPhone owners have plenty of choices when it comes to merging their IM accounts. They also have over 70 options for free mobile social media apps. What we’ve yet to see done right, however, is an app that merges the convenience of IM with the social utility we need.
Xumii, a mobile social address book available for a smattering of phones, has just released their free iPhone app that almost perfectly bridges the gap between social media sharing and chat functionality for all your contacts.
If you’re a new Xumii iPhone user, note that Xumii is available on dozens of handsets, not just the iPhone or iPod Touch, so your friends with Nokias can join in the fun too!
Xumii is now available and working not only for the second generation iPod Touch but also for first generation iPod Touch.
Some iPod Touch users may have encountered problems in the past few days. Never fear, we’ve been listening closely. We’ve enhanced Xumii, so if you have an iPod Touch 1g, the new version is ready for you to download right now.
Feel free to contact us on our iPhone / iPod Touch support forum with feedback!
