You may have seen the trending topic on Twitter today for Cnectd. Cnectd is a mobile application, that can be used between iPhone, BlackBerry, Android & Nokia. The application works in the same way as the popular BlackBerry messenger, which allows users to send instant messages between devices, except now, cnectd can be used across all the above platforms.
The coolest thing about cnectd, is that it is PROUDLY South African :) The app was developed by a bunch of guys in Jozi called MCI Consultants who have previously released a couple of iPhone apps.
