Nimbuzz Application For Android Launches!

If you’re not satisfied with the default chat and instant messaging options in Android or 3rd party solutions on the market, you might be happy to know that Nimbuzz is now available on the Android Market. The application serves as an all-in-one Skype, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, AIM, studiVZ, GoogleTalk, Facebook, MySpace, Jabber client and many more.

The folks at Nimbuzz told us that the Android version has some sophisticated features which they further explain in their press release / blog announcement:
The smart buddy list layout displays information in an intelligent way, combining avatar and presence information in one, with community icon and resource information (if your buddy is online on the mobile or PC) in the same line.

The time sensitive UI is a favorite. It detects how long you press on a buddy’s name. A light touch opens their profile and a stronger touch instantly starts a new chat!

Home-screen notifications alert you on the home screen of activities such as incoming chats while Nimbuzz continues to run in the background.
Clickable URLs make for a multimedia rich chat experience so you can share YouTube videos and Wikipedia information during your chat. A browser window will open from which you can seamlessly switch back and forth to Nimbuzz.

Auto reconnect is also very useful! For example, I often leave Nimbuzz running in the background while connected to a Wi-Fi network and before I know it I’m out of range and offline to all my friends. To prevent this, Nimbuzz detects whenever you are out of range, and if there isn’t a known Wi-Fi network available it connects you via 3G, and vice versa.

Unique to Android users is the fact that only Nimbuzz integrates Skype IM and local social networks such as Hyves in the Netherlands, StudiVZ from Germany, Gadu-Gadu from Poland, and Giovani from Italy - we didn’t forget you guys!

In addition to downloading Nimbuzz via Android Market, you can also download directly from the Nimbuzz website. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think. Will it become your default chat app? Do you find an alternative much better?By the way, the company has also said via their twitter account that they do NOT offer VoIP with this version and that it is “an Android issue” but that they will solve the problem soon!

5 Reasons To Build A FaceBook FanPage

By Lotame on Social network

Here are a quick 5 reasons why you should build a Facebook Fan Page:

1) Reach over 200,000,000 users

According to Mashable, “Twitter and Facebook Post Huge Growth Numbers in March,” Facebook grows about 23% every month and just below 200% in one year. Your Fan Page will continue to gain exposure to more and more users as time goes on.

2) Instantly send news updates regarding your company/industry

With the click of a button, your updates will be posted to the infamous Facebook “minifeed” for everyone to see. Besides the “minifeed,” the news can be sent directly to your fans alerting them that you have updated information.

3) Make your company more social with photos and videos

Clients want to be comfortable working with you. The photos and videos will allow them to get to know your company easily enabling them to put a face to the voice.

4) People who are not on Facebook can still find your Fan Page through online searches

This is a huge benefit to the Fan Page. For those few online users who do not have a Facebook account, they can still read all of the information on the Fan Page. People who do not have an account will not have the ability to receive updates.

5) For consumer goods, you can upload coupons or other types of discounts to those who are only a Fan of your company, potentially increasing your following

This can be a tool to reward those customers who engage in your product and decide to follow your company. It can be as small as a weekly discount to a chance to win prizes. This benefit is only for those Facebook users that are your fans.

The Facebook fan page is a free and helpful tool for every company, regardless of your industry. It will increase your reach allowing you to instantly alert your fans of important information. Make your Fan page today. If you have found any other reasons to make a Fan, please share them in the comments section.

Samsung Tegra Phone In The Works

Apart from the Zune HD, the impressive Nvidia Tegra chip is confirmed to be headed for use on smartphones with the earliest release date scheduled for Q4 of 2009. True to this report, Samsung has just disclosed that they are indeed working on a Tegra-based phone albeit keeping mum on its other specs and features. Likewise, since there’s very limited available info at the moment, we’re not exactly sure if they’ll actually be the first to release a Tegra-powered smartphone in the market this year, but as far as the record books are concerned, they are the first to officially admit it which is good enough in our books.

Motorola is the other company said to be working on a Tegra smartphone, but we’ve yet to get confirmation on this.

As you've probably guessed, the display is your standard 7-inch with 1024 x 600 resolution.
