Facebook Chat goes mobile with eBuddy (update)

eBuddy, a web and mobile application supporting instant message clients such as AOL, Yahoo! and MSN, now supports Facebook Chat.

eBuddy is the first company to offer a mobile version of Facebook Chat since Facebook announced support of Jabber/XMPP earlier this year. The application works with many major cell phone carriers and mobile products.  For devices that do not yet support the full client, ebuddy has a browser version at m.ebuddy.com. This will work with SideKick, iPhone, iTouch, Sony PSP, and other cellphones/PDAs/etc.

Update:  My original post stated that eBuddy announced support for Facebook.  There was not an official announcement, although the company did make a post about it here.

Hi Catherine,

eBuddy hasn’t officially announced the launch and support of Facebook chat. We actually had a soft beta launch to test the waters. The story was picked up by Allen Stern from Center Networks last week when he happened to be using eBuddy. Mashable picked up the story yesterday.

Best,
Mindy M. Hull
Communications Officer

News travels fast, eh? I’ve made a correction. Thanks for the correction and please keep Odd Bits updated on the latest eBuddy news. BTW – eBuddy, with my Facebook account added, is going strong on my iTouch as we speak. :-)
