Android App. and Win Mobile App.

I like the capability to respond via my email enabled phone when I'm out and about. Unfortunately this means you have to start the conversation before you leave the house and you can't see the discussion in context so you have to use your memory so you don't sound stupid.

 

Enter Android. I have a Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR from T-Mobile. I've looked at our site through the phone's browser. Other than it taking a while to load and it saying we don't have a certificate from an approved Certificate Authority(which is by the way untrue) it is a fairly pleasant experience but it's left me wanting more.

 

I can visit T-Mo's forums right from their T-Mobile My Account app which is available free from Android Marketplace. The application(is fairly simple and I can easily search for content, post a new thread, look at response and then respond again while I am away from my computer. I don't get the frills but I get more freedom to be where I want. The app is integrated with *name that shouldn't be mentioned* . You're welcome to check it out on a CLIQ, a my Touch or a G1.

 

For a Jive Android app. I'd like the following:

 

Homescreen widget

Status bar Notification or widget notification for thread I authored

Status bar Notification or widget notification for threads I participated in.

Search By community, by open questions, discussions, answered questions

Re: Android App. and Win Mobile App.

Hi Mark,

 

We just released several improvements to community access via (mobile) email, as well as our first native mobile application (for the iPhone) with version 4.0. You can now receive the full content of any post right in the body of the email and reply to that message right from your email client. We have also significantly improved the readability and threading of those messages. With the add-on Mobile Module, you can also now author new content by email (letting you start a conversation after you've left the house), either from the footer of any notification you've already received, or by downloading/sending vcards for any place to your address book. (If you are running an older version of SBS, there is also a way to create new content by email with the Advanced Email Plugin.)

 

As for additional native mobile apps, we are looking next at the Blackberry and will be exploring solutions for Android too as demand grows. Hearing which features you'd like in that app is very helpful and I've recorded them for the future.

 

Thanks!
Olivia

What exactly did you do for the threading? I have been trying to find

out for a week (see http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/thread/50602)

whether you actually implemented RFC 2822 section 3.6.4 so that real

threading is enabled, or whether you have merely implemented 'grouping

by subject' (which we already had with the Advanced Email plugin).

Re: Android App. and Win Mobile App.

Thanks for bringing that thread to my attention. Jochem. I have posted a reply there and will further explore with our dev team.

Re: Android App. and Win Mobile App.

+1 here.  We are Sprint, and cannot talk about the iPhone.  We are heavily invested in WM and Android and would love a mobile client for either of these platforms.

 

Or, even properly skinned template (see vBulletein) for WebKit or Plain Text lofi browsers.
