Like announced below, we just released a brand new PSP version. It also works with Sony’s newly released PSP Slim. Since you can hookup the Slim to a TV, you can now also chat on your TV screen from the couch at home!
The Slim seems to be selling very well, according to PSP World, part of the GameFlavor Network, sales are up 400% since it has been available! We finally managed to get one here at the office today Availability here in Amsterdam shops hasn’t been too good… Many of you guys already have it?
As we are aiming to phase out our legacy web IM products and replace them with our new Multi-Network client, we are steadily piling on the new features. Aims for the past iteration have been, as the title suggests, Drag & Drop and Group Management.
Group Management
Quite simply we have implemented the ability to add and remove groups to your contact list. Although this may seem very simple this took quite a bit of thought and work. You can put contacts from any account in a group you create, so you can finally have all your friends from all networks in a single group.
Drag & Drop
As an obvious companion to being able to add and remove groups we added the functionality to “Drag” contacts to a group and “Drop” them there. Again not a trivial addendum to the already extensive codebase, but we feel we have hit the nail right on the head, and hope you will all enjoy the ability to move your contacts around at will
Every month we are seeing more and more users chatting with our Mobile Internet version on a Playstation Portable. Therefore, we decided to develop a brand new version, specially designed for the PSP…… and we just released it!
You can use the PSP version to chat with all your MSN / AIM / Yahoo! / Google Talk buddies, in one single buddy list. It has full emoticon support and is available in English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Magyar, Italiano, Arabic, Nederlands, Português and Pt. Brasileiro. More translations will be added soon.
To check it out, just point the browser of your PSP to:
m.ebuddy.com
This version is in beta, so please let us know what you think on feedback@ebuddy.com.
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!
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!

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.
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!
