Our slogan ‘web and mobile messaging messaging for everyone everywhere’ is quite open for interpretation. Apart from mobile phones and on your website, eBuddy can be accessed in some interesting alternative ways:

Most used is our mobile version on a Sony PSP. Just by accessing the browser you can chat your way using WIFI. It’s amazing that over 150.000 users per month actually chat with the PSP. I’m not a frequent user of either the PSP or the DS so I’m not taking any position :-), but the text input of the PSP seems to be quite cumbersome. Then again… text input on a mobile phone is also something you need to get used to.

Since the Nintendo DS came a bit later with a browser, we do not see the same amount of users yet, but the touchscreen with the stylus input looks like an easier way to chat.

For something completely different, we have recently developed something for our neighbors in the UK. Millions of SKY users with a set-top box can press the interactive button on their remote, enter Skykey ‘EBUDDY’ so you can see all your buddies on tv :-). Text input is similar to a mobile phone, you just use the digits. Unless you have a remote with a QWERTY keyboard.

Any suggestions for other alternative access to your buddylist?
