Jabber IM for Android

bjames — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 21:12:11 GMT

Hi,

Is there an IM (old Connect) client for Android? I see the Jabber (old Mobile) but not an IM client. The one for the IPhone is confusing as well as I deleted the iphone Jabber client thinking they were duplicates only to figure out I deleted the IM client and left the Mobile client on, I had to re-download the Jabber IM.

Anyway, can someone point me to a IM client for the Android.

Thanks,

Bob James

Bob,

I asked a member of our Jabber team for information about an IM client for Android. He told me there isn't one now, and he suggested you try back mid-next year for an update.

I hope that helps.

Hi Kelli,

Could you also please find out if and when we can expect to see a Connect client for Windows Mobile?

Thanks,

Anthony

Anthony,

This blog may answer your question regarding Connect for Windows Mobile: http://blogs.cisco.com/collaboration/learning-more-about-cisco-jabber/

According to the last response posted at the end of May, Cisco does "not currently have solutions for Windows Phone 7. Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator supports Windows Mobile 6.x."

Not support for Windows Phone.... Well Microsoft Lync have a full support for all mobile devices, Why Cisco not jump for that? Windows phone is release for public in October 2010... I sorry but i don't understand.

Hi Wagner, at this time Cisco does not plan on supporting Windows phone. Cisco is not tied to any particular operating system and we build according to market demand. Windows mobile world wide market share is not significant at this time compared to iPhone, Android, and Blackberry and those platforms are our priority.

While Lync provides basic presence and IM on mobile devices, we feel Jabber provides a much more comprehensive collaboration experience in mobile scenarios ranging from presence/IM to voice, video, and web collaboration.

Hi Jiri,

We're in the process of developing Jabber IM for Android for smartphones, which is targeted for 2HCY12. We're targeting to make it available in Beta in the next month or so.

Hi Chris,

Jabber for Android 9.0 can be found in GooglePlay. There is an older version (8.6) on Cisco.com software download site. The older version was moved there in order to satisfy users that want Secure Connect but not the new features in version 9.0.

The link to Jabber 9.0 on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cisco+jabber&c=apps.

The Jabber IM for Android software is still in development and its not yet available for Beta. We are planning to do a Beta trial, but don't yet know when.

Thanks,

Lisa

Here at GM were use Cisco Webex connect to communicate via IM. I use to have an Iphone which I used on a daily basis the Jabber IM for the iphone. I know Jabber is suppose to release a trail of jabber IM for the android, but when. I desperately require the use of IM to effecientlt communicate with my client base.
