Free VOIP application on your iPhone
fring, a mobile Internet community and service, on Wednesday (16 April) became the first mobile VoIP application to be made publicly available for the iPhone from computer company Apple, enabling users to talk, chat and interact with other fring users and all of their online communities, using their iPhone's Wi-Fi connection.
A preview R&D version of the mobile VoIP application, developed in conjunction with the Holon Institute of Technology academic research labs in Israel, is available for use on the iPhone from http://www.fring.com The pre-release version has reportedly been designed to answer demand from iPhone-owning would-be fring users and at the same time enable the company to learn about user experience, benefit from feedback, and influence the R&D process of the full release version, due for release later in 2008.
During login, fring creates an integrated contact list, combining contacts from all of the users' selected Internet communities. It offers special features including real-time, PC-style 'presence' indicators, which display whether contacts are online, away, offline, in a call, on their mobiles or in front of their PCs, the company claims.
fring for iPhone is free to download and free to use.
