Improved eBuddy IM for Android: always stay connected

Update: We just released a new update (version 1.1), which improves the connection handling even more. Plus, you can get LED notifications on new messages, and you can choose to keep the app icon in the status bar so you know eBuddy is active in the background.

Since we introduced eBuddy IM in the Android Market a little more than a month ago, we’ve been steadily bringing out updates to make your chat experience on Android even better. We got a lot of valuable feedback from you, which really helps us to improve eBuddy. Keep it coming !

Right now we’re at the fourth version: eBuddy IM 1.0.4 – a good time to tell you about the improvements we’ve made so far.

Improvements in eBuddy IM for Android 1.0.4:

• - Always connected: if your Internet connection is lost, eBuddy IM will keep on trying to reconnect. Also when eBuddy runs in the background.
• - Notifications in the status bar: when eBuddy is running in the background and you receive a new message (or if something unexpected happens), a notification is shown in the status bar.
• - Blocked buddies will not show up as online anymore

Lately we’ve had some problems with Facebook chat, and not everything is working perfectly yet, but of course we will keep on improving the application and adding new features. So keep an eye on eBuddy IM in the Android Market!
