Hayden and I had the opportunity to demo first hand Fuze Meeting late last year. They announced yesterday that the app is now available for BlackBerry (and iPhone). See announcement below for BlackBerry.

Fuze Box, the leading global provider of online meeting and mobile collaboration applications, today announced general availability of Fuze Meeting for BlackBerry smartphones. Fuze Meeting is now available for the BlackBerry Storm, Bold and Curve 8900 smartphones. Fuze Meeting is available as a free download on BlackBerry App World.

Fuze Meeting for BlackBerry smartphones enables users to launch or participate in a web meeting from their mobile device – a must-have for salespeople, business owners, service providers and all mobile professionals. Fuze Meeting leverages the unique capabilities of the latest generation of BlackBerry smartphones, including 3G, Wi-Fi, faster processors and elegant displays to allow users to view video content, images and documents. Fuze Meeting also lets users chat securely with co-workers and friends, send meeting invites, and even “fetch” participants from their BlackBerry contacts directly into a conference.

“With Fuze Meeting, BlackBerry users now have a business-class mobile meeting application to enhance their productivity and keep them in sync with their colleagues and co-workers,” said Patrick Moran, vice president of marketing at Fuze Box. “The BlackBerry solution is the benchmark for keeping colleagues connected, and now Fuze Meeting is adding more, with a fully functional, mobile meeting app that truly enables real-time collaboration.”

Fuze Meeting complements and enhances the BlackBerry smartphone’s communication and collaboration functionality by combining four powerful functions into one intuitive interface:

• Full-featured conference call management – start meetings, invite participants, fetch them into the session, mute and un-mute lines – all from a single interface.
• View meeting participants' desktops, files and presentations on-the-go, in real-time, while synced with the meeting presenter.
• Watch and listen to high-quality video and audio – start, stop and pause as if you were in the room with the presenter.
• Consolidate multiple IM platforms into one application - login simultaneously to Yahoo, AOL, MSN, Jabber, Google Talk and others

Fuze Meeting is free for up to three web users and seven audio users. For larger meetings, Fuze Meeting offers several cost-effective pricing options, including pay-as-you-go, monthly and annual plans.
