pulver.Communicator: Going Mobile!

Now that the beta testing of pulver.Communicator for Windows XP has reached it's final phase of testing prior to the formal announcement and worldwide rollout, we have started the beta testing of a new version of pulver.Communicator for a new platform - RIM - Research in Motion.

pulver.Communicator brings the ability to traverse: AOL/Yahoo!/ICQ/MSM/FWD IM Networks to a RIM device. pulver.Communicator for RIM also supports elements of "third party call control."

By using pulver.Communicator for RIM, an FWDer can make their regular FWD phone ring and then use their RIM device to invite one (or more) people to join the call.

For someone not connected with the communications industry this is a pretty magical concept and does help to demonstrate a "personal central office" -- something I first spoke about at the Spring 99 Voice on the Net show back in Las Vegas.

At the moment we are running a very small and focused trial for FWD/RIM users. This new application will be on display and available for demonstation inside the FWD Pavilion at Fall 2004 VON.

If you are a "Power" RIM user and would like to give pulver.Communicator for RIM a test drive, please drop me a line at jeffp@pulver.com.

Versions for both WinCE and PalmOS are also under development. :-)

Jeff - When you get ready to beta a Palm versino, let me know. I'm on my ninth Palm and definitely fall into the power user category with my WiFi TungstenC. I tested Gphone on it, but it's a closed system and doesn't come close to suiting real-world needs. pulver.Communicator is awesome in beta and would be a huge app in the Palm world.
