Xobni launches social contacts app for BlackBerry

Plus a service to sync it up with your Outlook email too.

Xobni Mobile looks like being the next big 'Super App' for BlackBerry smartphones.

It launched today, but was originally unveiled at RIM's BlackBerry Developers Conference last November. It's a mobile spin-off from Xobni's plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.

In short, it reorganises BlackBerry users' contact lists in order of relevance, based on how often they communicate with them.

However, it also builds 'rich' profiles for each contact, pulling in links to their LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, shared contacts and calendar dates, and recent texts, emails and calls to and from that contact.

The app costs $9.99 for BlackBerry, and is available for the Tour and Curve 8900 series, as well as the Bold and Storm ranges.

It's backed up by another new service, Xobni One which syncs Xobni Mobile with the Outlook version. That costs $3.99 a month, or an annual fee of $39.90 which includes the mobile app.
