Xumii has developed a social address book that combines contacts from social networks, instant messaging services, media sharing Web sites and on phone mobile contacts into one easily accessible mobile address book. The address book gives users access to contact information, status updates, presence and news feeds for every contact on every network. The beta version of Xumii currently supports the following networks: Facebook, MySpace, imeem, YouTube, Flickr, AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger. Xumii will continue to aggressively expand network support throughout the year.

Other features include:

• Mobile Messaging: Switch From SMS to Mobile Messaging – Xumii mobile messaging lets users text and share media files in a single threaded conversation. With Xumii mobile messaging, conversations can be shared by groups of people and can happen across networks.
• Media Sharing: Share Pictures and Videos with Anyone, Easily – Photos and videos from the phone can be shared with other mobile users, or uploaded to media sharing websites and social networks. Users can also share media files from social networks and media sharing Web sites.
• Group Messaging: Message and Share Files with Groups in Private – Xumii’s social address book makes it easy to set up private groups, allowing users to have conversations with groups of contacts in private. Unlike with SMS, Xumii group members can respond to all members of the group and post a reply in a threaded conversation. Members can also share photos, fun widgets and videos within groups. Xumii groups are a very powerful way to stay in touch with close friends and immediate family.
• Message Walls: Post Pictures and Messages for Friends – Xumii is the first to introduce a mobile version of the popular wall feature used by most social networks. Walls are a rich graphical way for users to express themselves and communicate with their contacts. Similarly, anyone on a user’s contact list can leave messages or post pictures to another user’s wall.

Unlike traditional voicemail, MessageSling’s voice-activated service allows users to send, reply and forward voice and dictated text messages. MessageSling’s voice-activated service brings together the most integrated solution of features including custom greetings, unlimited voicemail and contact storage, voicemail transcriptions and immediate access to messages through phone, email, SMS and online options.

A basic MessageSling service without transcriptions and hands-free features is free. MessageSling is currently in beta with general availability planned in early 2009.

Say Where is powered by Dial Directions’ proprietary voice-entry technology for mobile services and devices. Here’s how the free Say Where application works:

1. Users speak into their iPhone and say any place they want, like “524 Broadway,” “hardware store,” “Delfina Pizza,” or “Golden Gate Bridge”
2. Users choose a mobile site to launch

Consumers can register at www.dialdirections.com/iphone to be notified of Say Where’s availability.

SkyData integrates personal and business networks ranging from Outlook address books, Google and Yahoo contacts, Facebook, LinkedIn , Plaxo and Jigsaw business networks, and finally formal CRM applications such as Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, Microsoft and NetSuite. The SkyData application runs on most RIM Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile USA and Sprint networks. Apple iPhone support is planned for the end of 2008.

“Business mobile users no longer need to try to view discrete bits of information through mobile web browsers or single data source mobile applications,” said Kevin Nix, CEO and Co-Founder of SkyData Systems. “Hopping between different applications and different websites to access your entire network of business and personal connections is not how people want to work. SkyData delivers one, easy-to-use, application to moreaccess all their personal and business relationships and the surrounding data.”

SkyData is available in two licensing models. The SkyData Personal Edition is free to use and combines personal networks, Facebook and related news and profiling together for fast mobile access. The Business Edition provides additional support of CRM systems, such as Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, or NetSuite and costs $9.95 per user per month. Both editions are in Private Beta.

The G.ho.st Virtual Computer already allows users to access their desktop, files, settings and apps from any browser. Now the G.ho.st Mobile service allows the same users to access their files, settings and apps from any mobile phone! The main VC service is live at http://G.ho.st and the new Mobile service may be accessed from any mobile phone browser at http://G.ho.st .

“Increasingly, people lead a mobile lifestyle and want to see their files and apps from any device, not from one fixed PC,” said Zvi Schreiber, G.ho.st founder and CEO. “G.ho.st with G.ho.st Mobile is revolutionizing the way the next generation does computing — moving the entire computing experience on to the Web and decoupling the personal computing environment from the physical device.”.

G.ho.st is in public alpha and expects to launch a beta service that will be ready for “prime time” in the coming months.
