IM from your mobile phone, no download required
Cellphone, Internet, Wireless July 4th, 2008
Well, after the Google Talk announcement for the iPhone and iPod Touch Mobile Safari browsers yesterday, Gizmo Project - which until my Nokia N810 I had rarely used since all of my contacts were either on Skype or other IM protocols (MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ) - announced the ability to use IM via your cellphone. Gizmo Project had added the ability to IM AIM, MSN and Yahoo sometime last year or sometime on the PC, so you could still talk to your Gizmo Project contacts, as well as your AIM, MSN, and Yahoo contacts with Google Talk coming very soon.
Well, now they’re doing it for any cellphone, including the iPhone - just tried it and it works. But here’s a warning… it’s sorta spartan in it’s look and doesn’t seem quite yet ready for primetime.
