This is my first public release of an application that I made for Windows Mobile. I use Google Chat a lot, and felt the need of an application specific for that , which didn’t require third party registrations. There are a couple of them which connect directly to Google chat, but are paid. This is a restricted beta (for now), which I will provide on first come basis. Developers are welcome to share thoughts and help to improve this product. The aim is to develop a Windows Google Chat client replica for mobile platform.
Public Beta will be available shortly after the initial testing is complete.

Finally, the wait is over! I am so happy to know that Google has officially launched an app for Orkut for mobile phones! This application is J2ME based which means you dont need any high end phone to be able to use this application.

Here are some of the features :

• Read and write scraps
• Status updates
• View photos
• View friends and phone contacts in the same list
• Access scrapbook, photos, and friend list while offline
• Take and upload photos
• Call, message, or share photos with friends and phone contacts

This will be a good initiative as users like me will be able touse orkut from office as well . I will post an update/feedback as soon as I get my internet working at my place .

Today I noticed something really strange at Twitter.When I saw the tweets posted by me from my own application, they were branded as “from web”.
