favorite iPhone webapps: Xing

Posted on | November 22, 2007 |

since Google brought the blessings of IMAP to Gmail, I’m regularly using the iPhone mail-client on-the-go (on Symbian-phones, the java-based Gmail-client still outperforms the iPhone easily, if only for search-features and conversion of attached documents).

so I was following some incoming contact-requests and was happily surprised that XING has customized their business-focused social network for the iPhone. seems like most features have been ported, although user-interface & look-and-feel are far from iPhone-posterboy Facebook. when I inspected the app’s URL, I was surprised to find that the iPhone-port wasn’t done by XING but by sevenval, a german (?) service provider specialized in bringing webapps to mobile.

to try out XING on your iPhone, just point Safari to xing.com, you’ll be redirected automatically.

Update: according to XING’s blog the iPhone port is active at least since Nov. 9th…
