Nimbuzz, once downloaded and installed on the phone, creates a unified contact  list by aggregating information from all the supported services on the basis of information provided by the user.  The contact list then shows the names of people and their presence status along with the icons for different services.  Nimbuzz allows its users to make free calls using VoIP services offered by Skype, Google talk, MSN, AOL as well as to the other Nimbuzz users.  The application also allows for free conference calling, text messaging, voice messaging, chat, file, photo and ringtone sharing for Nimbuzz users.

Currently, Nimbuzz supports over 500 phones from 22 brands along with al Nokia Symbian 60 devices.  The company is planning to launch the supported version for Windows Mobile Phones as well as iPhone very soon.  The application is available for download free of cost but the users will incur data charges from their mobile operators.

If you wish to use Nimbuzz, you can find out if you have a supported phone and download the Nimbuzz application.

Flash Lite is a mobile specific version of Adobe’s Flash and is one of the elements of Adobe’s Rich Internet Applications technology package.  Although all the RIA technologies seem far away from delivering a flash like experience on handheld devices, Adobe does lead the pack in RIA technology with its full spectrum of products but they really need to beef up their mobile platform to keep ahead of Silverlight.
