<![CDATA[Comments on: Mobile Apps, QQ, and the Holidays]]> QQ International, updates on the ChinesePod Android app, and our exciting brand new iPhone app. We've even got some holiday goodies like ChinesePod vouchers and the Great Start Program.]]> 2009-12-19 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: Keth]]> I already have a Beta version English version of QQ which works well in England and allows me to input in Chinese etc. If I download this new International version will it automatically up date or will I lose my contacts and have to add them again?

]]> <![CDATA[By: bababardwan]]> Makes sense that QQ International is all about focussing on foreigners living in China.Sounds imperative for them.I'm curious about the main benefits to foreigners not living in China.The main one that springs to mind is finding language partners.Any others? Also,I s'pose it will run ok on Windows 7 [as it only mentions xp and vista]? I s'pose I'll just have to give it a shot and find out.Thanks again for the iPhone app.

I'm not sure how it syncs with standard QQ ,but found this:

4.For Qzone fans, a quick link as been added to the platform to access directly your Qzone page in Chinese.

5.With simple right-click on a contact, you now have the option to visualize this contact’s Qzone in Chinese.

I just downloaded the QQ platform and then tried to sign up for an account for the very first time.This process requires you to enter an email address.When I did this it won't accept it as it says "this ID has been registered".The screen prior said you could sign up using an existing email address.Can one creat a QQ email adress rather than use an existing email address then? Any ideas?

I found this:

In the English version of the QQ client, you can't bind an email address from QQ (@qq.com.) Sorry!

..but I wasn't initially trying that.It won't accept my usual email address.It also won't accept not entering/binding an email address.

Currently, to see the pinyin on the iPhone app, you have to go all the way down to the word level.

The Android app works differently (you can toggle between English and pinyin on many pages), but this is due to the difference in interfaces on the two apps. We are planning some kind of toggle for the iPhone app in future releases, once we work out the optimum interface.
