Vodafone Spain and Qualcomm have announced the launch of Vodafone Buzz, an application based on Qualcomm's iSkoot social client and managed Web service platform that lets Android-based smartphones access major social networks and RSS feeds from a single screen.

Users get access to their favourite social network updates and can customize their news, sports and entertainment services.

Vodafone Buzz is now available for Android-based handsets and smartphones and will be available on other platforms.

Iaki Cabrera, Head of Services and Innovation at Vodafone Spain, said: "Many smartphone users are overwhelmed by the proliferation of apps available for their phones and are concerned about how the applications can affect their data invoice. Vodafone simplifies this choice through a selection of the apps that perform best, both in terms of functionality and how they communicate with our network. After conducting extensive research and comparisons, we are pleased to announce we have chosen the social networks application Vodafone Buzz, based on the iSkoot social client, to bring together all social content and the fact that we will offer this application for free for all our smartphone users."
