History

eSobi was first developed by esobi Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan in 2006 for Windows computers. It started out as the very first in the market to combine an RSS reader, a meta-search engine, and a scrapbook all in one application, aiming to ease information overload of the Web. Recent updates added a podcast receiver and features a new UI design.
Since 2008, Acer has bundled the simpler version of eSobi on its computers, including the popular netbook Acer Aspire One. This version of eSobi includes only the RSS reader and data library; both are free with the purchase of Acer computers. eSobi is also the software partner of Transcend Information, Inc. and the 90-day trial version is delivered with selected Transcend's JetFlash USB flash drives.
eSobi for Windows Mobile and Android platforms are also available.
