Geodesic announced yesterday the compatibility of its Mundu IM client for an assortment of mobile devices. Like Fring, Mundu IM allows you to navigate your existing AIM, MSN, Yahoo IM, , ICQ, Google Talk and Jabber services via a single client on your mobile phone (which is different to the way standalone VoIP apps like Vyke and Truphone work).
Supported operating systems include Pocket PC, Sony Ericsson J2ME, Palm OS, Windows Mobile as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch. The service has a few neat tricks up its sleeve too such as the ability to instantly share photos and videos taken from camera phones to contacts across all the supported IM services. Apparently this also works with file and music sharing too which is very interesting indeed.
The only kicker is that the application isn’t free (unlike Fring) but considering it is so feature rich, 11 dollars doesn’t seem like such an unreasonable price and will surely provide some pretty stiff competition.

I fail to see how Mundu manages to shake up the mobile VoIP crowd – as in it’s normal configuration it does not support VoIP – only IM!
