Barely two months after my previous post on reaching 100.000 downloads, the downloads of the eBuddy Mobile Messenger already reached the magic number of 500000

Yes, we’re smiling.
We never expected this to happen so soon, but it makes our day/week/month.

Pretty soon we will release a new version with some major improvements….

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Keep on telling us what we can improve!

Dear users,

Great news today (as posted on TechCrunch): after a lot of hard work of the entire team, we added MySpace IM on our homepage for you to login to!

What does this mean? Well, if you use MySpace IM at this moment on your desktop at home, you can now do it all from work, school or while traveling. It also means that you don’t need to install anything on your pc and even Mac & Linux fans can use it!

So, now you can IM with your MySpace friends anytime, anywhere…just click here

Take it for a ride and leave a comment about what you like or don’t like. We appreciate any comment!

I really hope you all like it.

We just added Google Talk to our Mobile Internet version. Our new Web Messenger already supported it, and now you can also chat with your Google Talk buddies on the road!

To check it out, just open the browser on your phone and go to:

m.ebuddy.com

We haven’t forgotten our PSP and Nintendo DS users: Google Talk is also ready to use for you! Just point your PSP or DS to the same address.

It is a beta version, so please let us know what you think on feedback@ebuddy.com!

Check out this movie made by Vincent Manuhuwa about using eBuddy on the iPhone. Thank you Vincent for making and sharing this movie with us! If you would like to submit a movie about eBuddy please leave us a comment or a link. Cheers!

 

We found another device running eBuddy! You can see we’re not saying “everyone everywhere” for nothing. We’re now available on Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, iPhone, on your TV, your Wii, your browser, on your grandma’s browser, on the new mobile phone in your pocket and now we found a movie of eBuddy running on the Archos 605 WiFi. So now we also run on your couch! Seems like a cool gadget.

Already, the eBuddy Mobile Messenger works on over 300 types of mobiles.

Is yours not supported? .It is quite a task to test eBuddy Mobile Messenger on every mobile phone, let alone that differences in firmware may already cause difference in behavior on a single type of phone. I haven’t even started talking about different mobile operators with network glitches….

So if you have issues getting online and you want to make sure that eBuddy will work smoothly on your phone, please send us an email to feedback@ebuddy.com and mention your phone model, country, and mobile operator.

We’ll let you know if we think we can make it work and help you get online with eBuddy Mobile Messenger.

And of course… really helpful users will get rewarded with some unique eBuddy gadgets.

Hope to hear from you soon,

JJ

Following another iteration ending, we have just released a new version of our Multi Network Beta. Again we have taken your feedback to heart and have tried to make those changes that you most requested. As usual we are always bug-fixing and improving our product, and have done so as well this iteration. So on top of these below a list of the major features and improvements:

Google talk Support
Definitely very noteworthy is the introduction of Google Talk support. As this is the first time we will be offering this on any of our products, we hope you will enjoy using this on eBuddy. All standard GTalk functions are included, including uploading your own Avatar.

Improved text editor
Being a major point of feedback received from users, the text editor used to input text has been improved. This component has had a complete overhaul and is functioning a lot better than before. On top of improved performance we have resolved an issue with text styling dissapearing while typing, causing you to have to set it over and over again.

Performance
Again we’ve looked intensely at the performance. We believe we’ve made a big step forward this iteration. An issue with processor usage going through the roof while being logged in with more then two accounts has been resolved. This impacts not only the editor as discussed above but also improves general usability as a whole. As always, your feedback is much aprreciated, so if you have any, feel free to let us know here!

All this said, if you haven’t tried it yet, try our eBuddy Multi Network Beta now!
