Trillian 5 Brings Cross-Platform Chat Log & IM Syncing to All Devices

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Trillian is one of the best mobile IM apps around, and their desktop app is still one of the only IM clients that will sync all your info between devices. Now, they’ve now made their mobile and desktop even more tantalizing by making each of them free, with all the Pro features of the old versions in tow. That means that Trillian desktop users now have multiple location sign-in, themes, activity history, and other great features without subscribing.

Trillian’s also released version 5 for Windows, which includes a new interface that ditches the menu bar (Firefox-style), improves social networking integration, adds cloud-based chat history, and a new feature that lets you sync open IMs between all your devices.

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

MyWeather is a new app that promises 6x better precision than The Weather Channel, Accuweather, and others, as well as more personalization.

For more precise weather readings, MyWeather says its app can pinpoint your location down to a 1 km (0.62 miles) radius and you can enter a street address (rather than zip code) also for as many locations you want to save in your profile. This profile is synced across the website and iPhone and Android apps, giving you a consistent weather-tracking experience across all your devices.
