App News: Mundu IM Launched for webOS

By: , 7/8/2010 8:23 am | 26 comments

We’ve been reporting on this story for months, and are pleased to inform you that Mundu IM by Geodesic Limited is finally available in the Palm App Catalog for an introductory price of $2.99. (That price falls to $1.50 during Palm’s 50% off sale.) It should be noted that this app normally costs $11 for pretty much all other platforms.

This app promises webOS users access to much-needed instant messaging clients missing natively for webOS, such as MSN, Facebook, and open XMPP. As far as we can tell, this is only available for the Palm Pre, for now.

We’ve just downloaded it ourselves and will be kicking the tires for ya. Initial reviews are mixed, though most reviews complain that Facebook chat is not working yet (?!)… Stay tuned! We’re all over this. :)

flattr this!

    It’s pretty awful! Was hoping for a grand slam compared to IM+ but its really no better. I can’t get my MSN to work for the life of me, acts like it connects, signs me out elsewhere but endless spinning sign on. Facebook chat works fine once you grant permissions on the Facebook website to access the India location Mundu uses. Otherwise, it’ll also get an endless loop. GTalk and AIM work fine as well but there are horrible memory issues with this app. No other cards open and I get too many card errors, critical memory level. You can’t send files/pics/vids it seems. The only thing cool about it is you can appoint an avatar from a pic on your phone. Does me no good being I can’t sign into MSN correctly. Argh.

    WTF. Just bought this for $2.99 and literally I can’t sign into anything that isn’t already on the phone. What was the point?
