OctroTalk for Windows has been released, and is available for download from our website (www.octro.com).

If you are PPC/Smartphone user, and want to access your PC files (image/music etc.) on the go or you want to backup your documents/photos from your PPC to your Desktop, you can do this using OctroTalk for Windows, and its file sharing capabilities.

For this, you will need to create another account (separate from your PPC/Smartphone account) -- you can do it directly from OctroTalk (create an octro.net account). Then from your Desktop account, add your Pocket PC account as a buddy. Then share a folder with your Pocket PC account.

Pocket PC users can send files/photos to this buddy, and it will automatically accept the file and save it in the shared folder. Very easy to backup your photos/documents.

The latest version of OctroTalk also support Jabber Conferencing. By default the conferencing server is set to conference.octro.net. There is a chat room there called octro. Please drop by and discuss OctroTalk there. You can let us know the features you want or discuss any issues you are having with OctroTalk. You may also create your own conference rooms there or on any other jabber server.

Lastly, we would like to encourage users to send email to support@octro.com -- we want to hear from you. We want to know what you want more from this product, or you can just drop us a note letting us know whether you liked the product or not.

Well, the license for version 1.17 has expired today.

Any updates coming out? The Octro website still has 1.17.

Does Octro, or will Octro support AIM group chat? our office uses AIM and they are always in a chatroom, since I am a system engineer I am hardly ever at my desk. I have been unable to find any PPC clients that support aim chatrooms.

Hi,
why do I love this app?
its saving me from the $15 a month ($180) a year on tmobile text messages which I really dont need because of the internet plan.

the feature that needs to be added most IMO is offline messages. there must be an easy way for octro to log you in as offline in the server and save your messages. then when you reconnect send the messages to you.

This is a very important feature.

I think Mundu IM does it but I don't think it worked cause I tried signing off and sending myself a message with mundu and didnt receive it.

it is a very important feature because it can get really hard to talk to someone if you might have missed a few messages and neither party knows you missed the messages and theyre lost in cyberworld cause your connection was re-connecting
