Press Release Body = HELSINKI, FINLAND -- August 20, 2007 -- Ahead of schedule, Jaiku (www.jaiku.com) today released its new conversation and presence application for Nokia Series 60 Smart phones, enabling people to engage in real time Jaiku conversations while mobile. The new Jaiku Nokia S60 app enhances the connection between people by also displaying when contacts are online, the last time they were active on the phone, and in what city they're located.
As long as the Nokia phone is on, Jaiku is always running, so that the threads of conversation from your personal contacts can continue for instant viewing and participation from the phone at anytime. People can post new updates and comment on other posts and threads directly from the phone to the Web and also on your friend's phones.
The new app features a visually rich contact list that displays their buddy icons and their real time presence. Status can be broadcast to others based on the ringer settings - as long as it's on, it shows that person as being available. Nokia S60 users can also share their phone-based calendars to notify others of their upcoming events and availability.
* Extended battery life to maintain an up-to-date presence * Reading and writing comments from and to your contacts *'Stream view' contacts to see what they were doing and saying in the past, not just their most recent post * More than just Jaikus! Users can when their contacts have posted to flickr. * Improved presence view makes the most of the phone screen real-estate. * Usability improvements, including an even easier to use interface, and a progress meter to see what's happening * Improved data transfer and connection maintenance
