Jabber Releases PocketPC Client
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 12:00 AM
This could be interesting. Jabber "is adding a wireless instant messaging (IM) client suite to its product portfolio, making the company’s product suite the pre-eminent offering to bridge mobile and desktop instant messaging users. This month the company is releasing clients for RIM, PocketPC, Smartphone, Symbian and J2ME compatible devices." Nothing like covering all bases is there? :wink: "According to Jabber, Inc., each of the available clients connects wirelessly to the Jabber XCP server, making them technically interoperable with other IM and presence networks." Now you're talking! IM everywhere to everyone all the time everywhere. (When the software is released of course - it's not there yet).
They've got bigger plans for the future as well: "Jabber is much more than an out-of-the-box instant messaging application. It is a real-time communications and presence infrastructure. It is open, natively interoperable, and uniquely capable of extending presence into a wide variety of applications. With Jabber, wireless providers can leverage presence to introduce exciting new offerings, such as real-time gaming communities or dynamic address books with presence indication."

It's going to be very interesting how the wireless IM market develops. Watch this space.
