Buddycloud released for S60 3rd Edition

Published by at

Buddycloud, a location aware social networking client with a difference, is now available in native S60 3rd Edition form. The difference is that it's built on open standards, so will chat to anything that talks XMPP, as well as automatically updating your Facebook and Twitter feeds. Location is apparently via a mix of cell towers, Wi-Fi and GPS. Some screenshots are shown below. (Thanks to MIR for the heads-up)

This is the "main" screen on Buddycloud. From here it's possible to jump to individual or group chats, update your status message or set your "next-location".

Unlike with SMS messages, Buddycloud lets you send a group of people a message and have all recipients find out how each other replied. 

Private messages are displayed on this screen. If you are offline, messages from your friends are stored and delivered once you reconnect. So next time you on a train going through a long tunnel or hiking in the mountains out of coverage, your messages will just be batched up and sent when you are back in mobile coverage.

This screen helps you find people that are also nearby using Buddycloud. Buddycloud uses it's "outward-spiral-search" technology to jump through cell patterns looking for peopel in the area. And failing that we scan an entire city for you!

 

Buddycloud is all about enabling you to publish your location to your friends. This screen let's you save, edit and delete the places that matter (or mattered) to you.
