[APP][2.1+][v.1.5.3]Corporate Contacts

Glad to present my latest app: Corporate Contacts
I was surprised to find out that Android actually internally supports much more options, that the Contact app works with. Groups are one example - that is usually the
"Category" when syncing with MS Outlook. So, I made an app that exploits the underlying system a bit more. Check out the app, and the video below, for an introduction. Updates are to come...
NOTIFICATION: I am giving away some registration keys for the app, which unlock the full functionality, and remove the ads. Write me a message if you're interested!
Latest version: 1.5.3
https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate.free
Contacts management application, providing the essential address-book management that Android lacks.
Group SMS and e-mail sending, group editing of contacts.
See the introductory video for a demonstration of app's highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFWiCEsmAy4
The free version is ad-supported and has several limitations. For the full version, without ads and limitation check: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate
Key features:
* Organize contacts in groups.
* Browse the address book by groups, organizations, positions and locations.
* Context filters by an additional criteria.
* Contextual search.
* Group SMS and E-mail sending, using templates to add a personal touch to the messages.
* Fine-grain selection of addresses and phone numbers when sending group SMS and E-mail.
* Twelve nice skins.

Just to let you know, if anyone was following, that the bug on ICS is fixed.
This place comes handy to present some new features. Introducing the patriotic themes for both Corporate Contacts and Fast Dialer.

WhatsApp - if only

WhatsApp is quite a neat application for messaging, but I have a few issues with it
* It's tied to a mobile number. If I swap SIMs (depending on network coverage etc) it no longer works properly
* There is no web interface to access the messages
* There is no supported tablet application
* Many users in my contact list have used whatsapp at one point, but are no longer current users. I'd like to filter to something like "online in last 10 minutes" or similar otherwise I have little confidence they'll see my message
I actually find facebook messenger, twitter DMs and potentially apps like kik, viber, chaton work better as they don't have this dependence.
Comments? What apps do others prefer more? Any news on any of the above being remedied?
Note - I'm not bothered by any ££ if the app works.

1-so...?
2-yes there is.
3-if tablet has no mobile data connection, I.e. No sim, what's the point of having whatsapp on it.
4-it does tell you when they were last online. And if they're on the whatsapp contact list, they still have whatsapp installed, so they will get the message.

1) Also your sms and phone calls depends on mobile number...
2) Its a mobile app only, perhaps they intend it to stay that way (But there are several proyects that connect you from web or pc)
3) (Usually) a tablet does not have a phone number.
4) You have the last connected under the contact's name, so, if my contact hasn't been online since May, it is almost certain he/she wont get the message.
Whatsapp was born to be an blackberry messenger alternative, aimed at the same target but multiplatform, facebook chat, twitter, etc where born as web services, with mobile apps launched later. Viber, Line, etc. Where born to include all those things you ask on top of whatsapp.
EDIT: Acording to this post (in spanish) http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/16989423/Whatsapp-via-Pidgin-en-Archlinux-y-derivados.html
It is possible to integrate whatsapp with pidgin, so you can chat on whatsapp via linux

Unified Messaging for Android - First phase is READY

I have been working on a messaging app which will combine your messages from Stock messaging, Facebook and Twitter.
It will also support features similar to iMessage, which will allow you to message your friends over data, see if they are typing, send pictures, videos and group messages (if they are also using Messaging+). What sets Messaging+ aside from other apps is that it's extremely simple and fast.
First phase was to build the messaging app which runs on both phones and tablets, support MMS, Group MMS, etc. Right now I have the first beta out, please join our Google+ Beta Tester community and help us improve the app. Here's the link for the community : https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105068075764363660533
Current features:
Dark theme Landscape support (this becomes the default view on tablets) Super fast, runs extremely smooth.
Full support for MMS and Group messaging.
Upcoming features:
Integrate messages from Facebook and Twitter.
Send/Receive all your messages from your tablet and a web interface. Messages to your friends who also have Messaging+ will go over data. (Similar to iMessage)
Note: Once app goes to public, tablet integration will be $1.99/month and we'll never have ads. ALL BETA TESTERS will get all the features including tablet integration for free.

Instant Messaging - Invite Basis

Hi everyone
Looking for suggestions for an instant messaging app which has the following features, in order of priority:
- Invite basis adding of contacts (not add all contacts through phonebook like Whatsapp but through username or pin like BBM)
- Voice calling
- Simultaneous multi platform support - Android and PC (so you can message from anywhere like Telegram or Viber)
- Ability to send pictures but preferably any file
- Video calling
I've not been able to find one which does all of this. I'm open to using my own server too if that is an option. Skype has all of these features actually and was the closest, but it never works its strange.
Thanks!
Ishaan
