I had a note in from Tim Belfall of Condico Mobile. Here it is….

Kiboo launches BuddyMob for Android
BuddyMob caught my attention. I’ve been looking for an Android IM client — and it appears that is BuddyMob… and thensome. The release states that: BuddyMob is a single tool that enables continuous contact with friends via instant messaging, geo-tagged multimedia content sharing, micro-blogging, positioning on GoogleMaps, and a live instant feed to and from [...]
Samsung Cleo launches in Canada
Just got this in… We heard a while back that the Samsung Cleo was on its way, and and now it’s arrived — well, if you’re lucky enough to live in Canada, anyway. It’s not the only square flip phone on the planet, but it’s definitely the most fashion-conscious. As far as we can tell, [...]

3UK launches real-time in-video advertising

Later [...]

Trutap launches Hornet content platform
I got a note in this morning from Carl Uminski, CTO of Trutap. I caught up with Carl very briefly at CTIA in San Francisco last month and he showed me a demo of the next version of Trutap — it’s going to be quite stunning. IM, Content, Social Networking — all aimed at the [...]
