Not offering SSL?

You must be kidding me.

I understand that you can not buy certs for everyone, but why not set clients to use xmpp1.hosted.im directly and get at least one cert.

And this is for businesses?? had a good laugh ;)

Though the service seems nice.

Yes. It offers SSL. One certificate for the whole platform.

It works perfectly on a XMPP Client in Desktop PC. While it is not connecting from a mobile (Windows Mobile) client. I tried with many PocketPc Jabber Client. No Luck. Timed out.

Can you please help.

@Sivaram: Make sure your client on mobile supports DNS SRV record.

I think its a great cloud idea.  XMPP is used for way more than just IM.  I’m using it as a communication method for a client-server app.  Its easier than setting up an http/webserver/port80 on each client, and its not as low level as pure socket programming. 

I look forward to seeing your product progress.  Maybe you could even leverage Amazon AWS..
