Geodesic Launches Version 4.0 of Mundu IM

Geodesic has launched the latest version 4.0 of its product Mundu IM that allows users to cross-conference friends, colleagues and family across AIM, MSN, Yahoo IM, ICQ, Google Talk and Jabber services through a single chat window on Palm and Windows Mobile Smartphone platforms.

Mundu users can also share their photos and videos taken from their camera phones with their contacts across other IM services. They can also send files and music on their mobile device to friends and colleagues and receive email notifications for their Yahoo!, MSN and Google accounts on the move. Users do not have to pay per message.

Mundu IM V4 supports Palm OS and Windows Mobile Smartphone platforms and will soon support Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Symbian Series 60 platforms.

“As Internet enabled smart phones emerge to be vital tools for today’s consumer, instant messaging (IM) on mobile devices is becoming a standard mode of communication for consumers and professionals alike,” said Kiran Kulkarni, Managing Director of Geodesic. “Mundu recognizes that users are spread across different IM services and aims to unite them with a single interface across services, and mobile devices.”
