Movial Social Communicator is an innovative, carrier-agnostic software application that enables instant social communication by bringing voice and video calling, social media content (e.g. YouTube, RSS feeds, Flickr, etc.), unified messaging, online information delivery, and video feeds together for effortless content sharing and real-time communication on mobile handsets, PCs, IP set-top boxes, and Internet tablets.
