Jaiku is red-hot. The technology is sooo solid, and is going to be hard to copy. Twitter may be a little easier to use on the web, but Jaiku’s mobile client is hands-down the most incredible mobile community app I’ve ever seen.
They’ve nailed it: finally managing to efficiently bring presence and community into my mobile’s hitherto-dead address book.
I can see this becoming a gargantuan success very, very quickly. Particularly in Europe, where consumers tend to be far more mobile-savvy than in the US.
Congratulations to the Finnish team on a very well-engineered and well-conceived product!
If anyone wants to try it, you can connect with me here.

It’s a pitty that the application is only 60Series suitable. Hopefully, we will be entering soon a process of ongoing opening of mobile applications. Nokia took the first step with their python-enabled OS.

Nice, can’t wait!
I agree it’s too bad to limit an app to series 60 phones, but still this is an installed base of more than 100 million devices so it should be more than enough to prove the concept…
