3GSM 2007: Instant Messaging on your mobile
Microsoft and Vodafone have announced they are working together on an enhanced and co-branded Instant Messaging service. In bringing IM to the mobile they hope to make it a seamless service and allow chat between both the PC and mobile phone.
The service will be based on the Windows Live Messenger platform and will allow any user to access their address book and contacts on whatever platform you are using, with an indication of whether your friends are online on their PC or phone.
All sounds wonderful and will be a big step forward
According to Brian Arbogast the corporate vice president of the Windows Live Developer and Communications Platform:(now there’s a job title !! I would love to see his business card )
“We have brought together two of the world’s largest messaging communities with a co-branded seamless PC-to-mobile Instant Messaging service. Vodafone customers will be able to communicate whenever and wherever they want, using IM and its additional service benefits, making the most of their time with mobile and PC.”
