Nimbuzz, the universal instant messaging client, has introduced a new free Mac desktop client and updated the iPhone and iPod touch version.
The new Nimbuzz for Mac desktop client supports the widest range of instant messaging and social networks available from a single unified app for the Mac today according the makers.
Facebook, AIM, MySpace, Google Talk, Orkut, Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), ICQ and many more are supported.
Nimbuzz for Mac also claims to be the only IM product to provide high-quality VoIP calling direct from the desktop among instant messaging buddies on Nimbuzz, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and Google Talk.
Nimbuzz for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later and an Intel based Mac. You can download the application here.
Meanwhile, Nimbuzz for iPhone and iPod touch has also been updated to enable users to share photos, music and videos with their contacts.
Files are stored online, saving device memory and making them easily accessible from different access points. They can also be saved on the device, on demand and for free says the makers.
Nimbuzz also integrates push notification into the update, with home screen alerts of incoming calls or chats, keeping users available to chat even though the app itself has been closed.
Other new features include landscape-mode chat for the iPhone, dial-up VoIP over 3G and 2G networks, a new buddy list layout promising an intelligent display of avatars and presence information including which community a friend belongs to and if that person is currently online on a mobile phone or computer.
Location Sharing is now available on the Nimbuzz iPhone application, allowing buddies to share and retrieve their physical locations on a map, making it easier than ever to find each other.
Nimbuzz for iPhone and iPod touch is available free from the Apple iTunes App Store.
