Plaxo Rides the Apple Wave With Pulse for the iPhone
With Apple reporting yet another record quarterly profit, driven in no small part by iPhone sales, which have now topped four million, is it any wonder that iPhone-optimized versions of your favorite sites are coming fast and furious? The latest comes from Plaxo which has released an iPhone interface for Pulse, the company’s social networking service.
The iPhone version of Pulse joins the already available Windows Mobile application, along with the Outlook and Mac Address Book plugins to give you a well-rounded suite of syncing and access tools for Plaxo’s Pulse service, regardless of what platform you’re using.
The new iPhone interface compliments the ability to pick up your Outlook or Mac address book data via syncing with iTunes, which means you can already have all your Plaxo contacts and calendars on your iPhone for those times when web access is limited.
The new interface itself looks much like iPhone users have come to expect from an iPhone-specific site. Although Plaxo is using browser detect scripts to automatically redirect iPhone users to the new version, there’s still a link at the bottom if you want to use the traditional web interface.
Pulse on the iPhone takes advantage of the iPhone’s feature set with links that let you automatically place calls from within Pulse (by clicking on a contact’s phone number) and naturally you can see all your contacts’ latest posts to their Pulse stream.
To see the new interface in action simply point your iPhone to pulse.plaxo.com.
