Meebo follows eBuddy to the iPhone
Meebo and eBuddy are always one-upping each other. eBuddy launched iPhone support a month ago, and tonight Meebo is announcing their iPhone client. Seth Sternberg, founder and CEO of meebo says, "Safari on the iPhone has enabled a new level of mobile innovation – it's the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device. Our application for the iPhone now provides a seamless experience between your computer's browser and your phone's browser. meebo truly is instant messaging everywhere!"
The featureset includes:
- Access all of your IM accounts through a single login and in a single buddy list
- Your chat history and preferences stay with you from any web browser, mobile or desktop
- No software is required – meebo updates without annoying downloads
It makes sense for early adopter Web apps to make iPhone versions as quickly as possible as the majority of iPhone users would be considered early adopters. I don't have an iPhone so if you try the meebo for the iPhone, please report back with your review.
Yep, I agree – but if they did that, they couldn't make press releases and get buzz :)
(they in this case is anyone, not Meebo)
Horrible news.
This is like the days of “This web page is best viewed in …”
This needs to stop right now. Just make your website accessible and standards based and you don’t NEED an iphone version. Safari will display it fine.
