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!
Xumii is at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week. Contact us at info (at) xumii.com to meet with us.
We’ll be presenting at the Mobile Peer Awards on February 16th, 2009 between 16:30 to 17:30 at the Palau de la Musica. Over a thousand people are attending so please come early. Registration starts at 15:00 and the event itself starts at 16:30.
We’re one of the twenty finalists aiming to win the prestigious Mobile Peer Award this year, so wish us the best!
