Fring has now became the world’s first mobile VoIP application to be made publicly available for the Apple’s iPhone, enabling users to talk, chat and interact with other fring users (“fringsters”) and all of their online communities, using their iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection. A light, sneak preview R&D version of the mobile VoIP application, developed in conjunction with the Holon Institute of Technology academic research labs in Israel, is now available for use on the iPhone. The pre-release version is designed to both answer demand from iPhone-owning, would-be fringsters and at the same time enable fring to learn about user experience, benefit from early feedback and influence the R&D process of the full release version, due for launch later this year. The special pre-release version will enable iPhone users to get an early taste of application. They will also have the ability to make free and low cost mobile calls over Wi-Fi and use IM-style live chat with their online contacts, regardless of whether they are on their mobiles, PCs or other internet devices. During login, fring automatically creates a single, integrated contact list, combining contacts from all of the users' selected internet communities. And because fring is an always-on, always-connected application, it offers features like real-time, PC-style "presence" indicators, which continually display whether contacts are online, away, offline, in a call, on their mobiles or in front of their PCs, providing new levels of freedom to interact and truly take the internet mobile.
