I have to agree that mobile software is pretty boring. I think Jaxtr has better chances than EQO does, quite honestly. Lowering barriers is a good thing. Software downloads are a barrier for the vast majority.

I think adoption of the service could be problematic because of the slowness of the operators. Obviously having tossed my hat in with jaxtr, you know that I’m a fan of stuff that doesn’t need downloading, which is one barrier to entry for consumers. =) However, I do like the concept of converging more communication tools in the handset. I’m just not sure that that methodology will work soon enough. We’ll see.

Mobile software hace become so boring lately.

EQO, Shozu, Zyb, Fring, Moblica, Ovi and others have added the same features to their cellphone software, so that they all do the same now. They give access to the “most popular instant messaging and social networks, allowing users to stay connected to friends and family” (quoting from EQO’s press release). The other companies do exactly the same!

It boils down to always the same services: Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa and some more. How boring! I liked these services more when they concentrated on their original purpose.
