Email app Xobni has released a major update. Since their launch this February, their development team has been working hard to add features and fix bugs. Xobni also listens to customer feedback to build the most finely tuned email app out there.
To upgrade to the latest version, simply go to bb.xobni.com from your BlackBerry or the store from which you’ve downloaded or purchased Xobni.
Gist lets you organize your contacts and keep them updated by leveraging the social connections. Gist gives you access to your contacts’ updates with a menu button press, integrating deep into the BlackBerry and giving you a Super App experience. But of course we would expect this considering the company was aquired by RIM.
Do you have a lot of contacts on your BlackBerry? Then Xobni is a must-have app for your BlackBerry. The app takes all of your contacts, makes them easy to search and prioritizes your contacts based on who you contact the most. The app works best when you combine it with the desktop version of Xobni for Windows Outlook. This gives you access to 10x the contacts from your BlackBerry and Outlook. Be sure to check out the store link and read more about all the cool contact management features this app has.
Copy2Contact is a simple way to take contact information from emails and store them in your BlackBerry Address Book. In the latest version of the app, you can grab contact and calendar information from SMS, web and search results, and add them directly to your BlackBerry address book and/or calendar. The app will even update existing contacts if a match is found.
The most recent version of Copy2Contact features text recognition that grabs information as a stand-alone client, so you don’t need a wireless signal to grab contacts. Also, since the text recognition can grab info from any source, it can be used in mobile search and directory services like GOOG-411.
Our buddy Fabian just put out his latest app, AddresSave, which automatically takes contact info from your email and adds it to your address book.
As you probably know, there are other apps out there that do something similar such as Gwabbit. One thing I like about AddresSave, that isn’t included in Gwabbit, is the option to set a “block” list. With this option, you avoid unnecessary entries.
As this is a new application, it would be interesting to see how well it can sniff out redundancies over a long period of usage.
