Check Out Nimbuzz — A VoIP and Chat Aggregator That Doesn’t Suck
07.02.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsI’ve been spending a while playing with Nimbuzz, a service that aggregates IM and VoIP for your mobile (currently S60 and Java).

Mippin For Some Mobile Content
10.25.07 | Permalink | Comments OffRefresh Mobile is somewhat well known for their Java-based mobizines, which Russell wrote about last year. But they’re back with a new project, called Mippin.
