Seven Launched Windows Mobile Push Messaging Service
Seven announced a new application in development to connect to all your IM accounts. It is compatible with networks for Yahoo, AIM, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ and Google Talk.
The interesting thing is that you can push your service connection, so even lose your network connection, you’ll keep you connected and messages appear when you return to an area with connection to your phone.
In reality it is cross platform, available for Windows Mobile, Symbian, Java, Android … The list of terminals is available on its website, and notice that there is no iPhone version.
According to Seven, the features are:
-
Desktop-like IM capabilities: the SEVEN Mobile IM user experience mirrors that of the desktop with functionality such as buddy lists, presence enablement, status updates, chat, and the ability to find and invite friends; - Fully certified and branded IM clients: the SEVEN Mobile IM application is branded to match the service provider’s identity; and, the certification process ensures reliability and a high quality of service;
- An always-on user experience: the SEVEN Mobile IM client remains active in the background, and provides users with instant notification of status updates and incoming messages ? even when the device is busy with other tasks;
- Smart, battery-saving notifications: with SEVEN’s push-based notifications, the device and the IM client are pinged only when new information needs to be delivered and helps to maximize battery life for the device.
The company touts the new service’s desktop-like IM capabilities which provide features like buddy lists, status updates, presence enablement, and the ability to find and invite friends to the service. In addition, the client application can run in the background, alerting you to new status updates or IMs even when you’re busy doing something else on the phone.
