This means that you will be able to stay “Online” even while you’re not using Fring. So whenever someone calls you or send you a message, you’ll receive a beep sound along with a pop-up window, telling you that your friend is trying to contact you. Clicking on that pop-up window will get you back to Fring, straight to the relevant window. If you find this annoying after some time, simply “go offline” and that’s it.

As my fiance and I are planning our one-year trip around the globe, I started looking into getting Vonage on my iPhone so I can make calls from my iPhone, either over 3G or wifi, using my Vonage plan. There are many reports showing that Vonage is currently working on an iPhone app but it’s probably not going to happen anytime soon. By digging a little more, I found this article that shows you how to set up Vonage on your iphone by using your Vonage line as a SIP line. First, you have to find out your Vonage SIP credentials.

The cellular carrier rocketed out an official press release addressing VoIP for iPhone on Tuesday afternoon, just shortly after rumors heralded that the announcement was forthcoming ahead of the wireless industry's CTIA conference due to start on Wednesday. "AT&T today announced it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T's wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity. AT&T this afternoon informed Apple Inc. and the FCC of its decision." It's somewhat obvious that all this hoopla is the result of the FCC's renewed push for net neutrality, opening the floodgate for a world of interesting new VoIP applications for iPhone users beyond Skype.

Oggi è stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento che vede l’aggiunta delle videochiamate anche su iPhone! Tale servizio viene reso possibile tra gli utenti fring-e-fring (quindi anche tra noi e chi utilizza l’applicazione su un Nokia piuttosto che qualsiasi altra piattaforma) e gli utenti fring-e-skype (quindi anche dal computer). Il funzionamento è molto semplice e la videochiamata parte semplicemente selezionando un contatto e cliccando sul nuovo tasto “Video Call”. Visualizzeremo un quadrato centrale nel quale riusciremo a vedere l’altra persona ma, ahimè, l’interlocutore non potrà vederci sul proprio computer o altro dispositivo. Non essendoci una fotocamera frontale, il tutto risulta un po’ scomodo ma comunque è una piccola rivoluzione per l’iPhone perchè in assoluto è la prima applicazione che permette di fare tutto questo.

Now, since the iPhone doesn’t (yet?) have a front-facing camera, you’re limited to seeing the other person on a Skype or Fring Video call using their PC webcam (or Nokia phone — sigh, jealousy), but it’s still a wondrous step towards the future.

Big caveat for starters: the camera on the iPhone 3GS is located on the back, which is handy for recording videos of people and locations in front of you but of course makes it impossible for you to point the camera at your own Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:31:34 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/J33tjjL9fgg/ TechCrunch (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appleiphoneapps/~3/LKtipw4z8sw/ For those of you who are here since the first iPhone times you probably already know Fring for being the first app that brought VoIP to the iPhone back in the jailbreak days. Well, with its latest update Fring does it again and brings video conferencing to the iPhone. It’s one-way only for now so basically all you can do is have your friends call you from Skype and you’ll get to see their face. Nevertheless it’s a very neat trick and I’m looking forward for them to integrate two-way conferencing (Already there on the Nokia S60). OK, I know it won’t be possible to show myself and see my interlocutor at the same time without a mirror, but it could still be cool to see it happen. I just tested it using Skype and it’s really impressive, both the voice and the picture were of surprisingly good quality.

Fring ist vornehmlich durch seine Skype-Implementation bekannt, mit der man aus dem heimischen WiFi-Netz jetzt auch Anrufe mit Videoübertragung empfangen und initiieren kann. Das geht derzeit auf dem Apple-Telefon nur einseitig, so das man seinen Gesprächspartner (mit Kamera) auf dem kleinen 3.5 Zoll-Display betrachten kann. Sich gegenseitig in die Augen anzuschauen, funktioniert am iPhone (auch aufgrund der Gerätekonstruktion) noch nicht. Wer auf auf eine Jailbreak zurückgreifen kann, erhält mit ’3G Unrestrictor’ die inoffizielle Freischaltung, Video- und Telefon-Gespräche auch über ein schnelles UMTS-Netz in durchaus passabler Qualität zu führen.

Not looking to let the momentum fizzle, Fring has already released their next video-enabled app — this time for the iPhone. Alas, the iPhone lacks a front facing camera. Two-way video conferencing would be a bit awkward with one person having to rotate the handset every time they wanted to talk. As a result, video chat support on the iPhone Fring app has been watered down a bit, allowing for incoming video only.

Bookwalter Even before the launch of the original iPhone in 2007, rumors swirled in blogs and message boards that Apple might integrate a front-facing camera for video conferencing into the unit. It has yet to happen more than two years later, but that hasn’t stopped Israel-based fring from making at least one part of the puzzle a reality today. Of course, the iPhone 3GS camera (the only one officially capable of video recording) is on the back of the unit, making it difficult to use for video conferencing. Besides the fact that you won’t be able to properly frame yourself, you also won’t be able to see the other party you’re talking to. Hailed as a “world’s first,” fring’s solution (for now) is to stick with only incoming video streams — you can see the party you’re calling, but they can’t see you.

Before you get too excited, you should know that on the iPhone and iPod touch, video chatting is a one-way affair. Because the iPhone's camera is located on the back of the device, fring chose to enable only incoming video for the iPhone (and the iPod touch, of course, has no camera at all). So, people can send you video, but you can't send video to them. fring's application for certain Nokia devices does have two-way video calling, but iPhone and iPod touch users will have to wait for some future (and for now purely hypothetical) device with a front-facing camera before two-way video calling will be feasible.

Be sad, because it's one way only, so you won't be able to flash your naughty bits. Fring—a free chat client for the iPhone that supports most standards—has been updated to support video conferencing on the iPhone, using Wi-Fi. It works on Fring to Fring, and Skype to Fring. Unfortunately, it's not bi-directional. You would be able to see whoever is calling you from a desktop, but you won't be able to transmit your image, even if you have the 3G videoconferencing kit. The reason is a physical one, according to the developer: The iPhone doesn't have a front camera, so you can't do face to face. Which begs the question once again: When in the name of all that is good and chromed is Apple going to update the iPhone with a front camera and iChat AV?

It's a great feature, but it does have a catch. If you're unfamiliar with Fring, it's a messaging application that integrates with everything from Skype and Google Talk to Facebook and AIM. For most, the VoIP feature comes via Skype. With the new update, iPhone and iPod touch users with a Wi-Fi connection can make and receive video calls via Fring or Skype and watch your contact from your phone. Unfortunately the video chat is only a one-way video thing for now, meaning either you can watch your friend talk or your friend can watch you talk. This is, of course, a limitation of the iPhone and its non-front-facing camera.

Two-way TV phones have been a staple of futuristic stories since the 1800s. Now Internet communication service Fring has made two-way video calls by cellphone possible, maybe even practical. Fring’s new video feature allows people with certain Nokia phones using the Symbian operating system to make video calls over the 3G data network, no Wi-Fi required. If you use one of the Nokia phones with a camera on the front, like the N97, you can experience the full effect, seeing the person you are speaking to live on your handset screen as they do the same. Other phones it works with include the Nokia X6, N97 mini, 5800, and N95. Downloads are available from the Nokia Ovi store, or from Fring. The app uses its own compression method to use minimum bandwidth, so it can work reliably even when Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:11:29 GMT http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/07/app-of-the-week-live-two-way-video-calls/ NYTimes Gadgetwise Blog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Ispazio/~3/EHVY5J98bBU/fring-si-aggiorna-alla-versione-3-0-0-7-appstore 17 Dec 2009 alle 14:20 , è un’applicazione disponibile gratuitamente in AppStore che si è sempre contraddistinta per i suoi servizi innovativi, introdotti prima di tutti gli altri.

After AT&T said they would allow VoIP over 3G, all that remained was for Apple to follow through with an amended SDK, and that happened with iPhone 3.2 SDK for iPad. So far iCall Free VoIP [Free - iTunes link] and Fring [Free - iTunes link] We’re not seeing the monster in the space, Skype over 3G yet, but we’re willing to bet that’s incoming. We’re also happy to see that the iPad is indeed pushing things along for the iPhone as well, and we’re wondering if this means we’ll have VoIP over 3G to go along with those new AT&T iPad data plans they announced yesterday?

How is that possible, you ask? Well, Apple has apparently done an about face on their policy that prohibited VoIP apps from using a carrier’s wireless network to make free voice calls. Following AT&T’s decision to allow VoIP on its 3G network, Apple has opened the doors to a whole new world of VoIP calling, where iPhone users can make no-cost calls to other VoIP users from anywhere they please (as long as they have a decently strong signal). The implications of the move are huge – AT&T risks losing revenue from its wireless voice business if customers wholesale adopt 3G VoIP calling. For the customer, though, it doesn’t get any better than this.

That could mean a potentially huge savings on domestic and foreign calls. The reason is VoIP calls use data minutes rather than voice minutes. That means that you could buy a plan with minimal number of minutes — fewer than you actually use — as long as you have an unlimited data plan. Then you could make as many calls as you want over data. The first VoIP product up and running on the iPhone is iCall, a free app that gives you three ways to pay for calls. You can sign up for free calls to the United States and Canada that require you to listen to an ad before your call is made.

There's no update required to the app, simply launch Fring and you're good to go. Fring is a voice and chat app that supports Skype, SIP, and video calls calls over 3G. You can select Skype from Fring's list of add-ons. "Now iPhone fring users can call, video call, chat and more for FREE over 3G and wifi!" Fring wrote on their blog. Video calls are one-way-only. You can see callers through their Webcams, but they won't see you. The Fring app is not providing iPhone-to-iPhone video calling. It would make sense that the native Skype app should be following close behind, but there's currently no word on how soon the company will open up calling over 3G. The Skype app for iPhone was updated last on January 15th.

Within hours of the withdrawal of restrictions, iCall [iTunes Link] and fring [iTunes Link] both updated their backend to allow users to place calls over a 3G connection. In neither case was it even necessary to download an updated version of the app from the App Store; both iCall and fring basically just "flipped a switch" behind the scenes that allowed VoIP over 3G. After almost a week, neither app has been pulled from the App Store, so it seems VoIP over 3G is here to stay. What about Skype? Skype is apparently "awaiting clarification" from Apple. They want to make sure the updated terms of the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK also apply to the 3.12 SDK before they submit an update.

Der beliebte eBook-Reader Stanza (kostenlos; App Store-Link) entfernt auf einen Hinweis von Apple die Möglichkeit, digitale Bücher via USB auf das Gerät zu transferieren. So hieß es in der eigenhändigen Beschreibung ihrer Release-Note, dessen Passus “required by Apple” mittlerweile gestrichen wurde. Ein Dateitransfer über USB fiel in der App Store-Historie schon immer unter die Verwendung einer ‘privaten API’, die nicht für einen erfolgreichen Weg durch den App Store-Genehmigungsprozess bestimmt ist. Diese Argumentation äußerte Apple auch auf Nachfrage gegenüber mocoNews.net: We requested Stanza remove the USB functionality in their app as it was a simple case of the developer using private APIs in violation of the developer agreement.

Bookwalter A recent survey of new iPad owners sounding off on Twitter revealed that a whopping 26 percent were unhappy about the fact that the device couldn’t replace their iPhone. That got us thinking: What would it be like to spend a day with only the iPad? With that challenge in mind, we (mostly) stuck our trusty iPhone 3GS away for a full day and “made do” with only the Wi-Fi model of iPad. As it turns out, it’s not as difficult as you might expect. We have yet to find any iPhone apps that don’t also run on the iPad -- even seemingly more complex ones such as SlingPlayer Mobile or Skype work just fine -- so most of the iPhone functionality can already be duplicated just by installing the same apps you already use.

You might be brushing off this feature because the new iPhone has FaceTime, but the Fring app has two big advantages over Apple’s video calling feature: 3G support and compatibility across multiple platforms. Fring launched video calls on iPhone last year, giving iPhone 3GS users a simple way to make calls, although 2-way video calling wasn’t possible because the 3GS didn’t have a front-facing camera. Earlier this year, the company brought 3G video calling to market. Today’s update finally makes Fring compatible with 2-way video calling on the iPhone 4. While it’s easier to initiate or receive a FaceTime call, the company is betting that people will use Fring because it allows them to call friends without an iPhone 4 — one of the big restrictions to Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://mashable.com/2010/07/08/fring-3g-video-calling/ Social Media News and Web Tips – Mashable – The Social Media Guide (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2366273,00.asp Fring on Thursday released an updated version of its mobile app that will allow for two-way video calling over 3G and Wi-Fi on iPhone, Android, or Symbian devices, including Apple's latest iPhone 4. The app also now supports multi-tasking, includes a social stream of Facebook, Twitter, and IM sessions, and has a smarter address books that merges buddy and contact lists. A major addition to the iPhone 4 is the FaceTime video-calling app. For now, however, it only works between two iPhone 4 users and only over Wi-Fi.

This week’s Small Apps looks at nine titles ranging from games to communications and reference tools. Our top pick of the bunch is the latest version of Fring. Read on for all the details. Normally, we’d consider including Villain LLC’s new first-person shooter Archetype ($3, version 1.0.5) in an iPhone Gems roundup, but after playing it for a bit, we didn’t think there was enough in the gameplay department to warrant even a two-paragraph review… yet. What Villain has come up with is the basis for a really solid shooter, including a silky-smooth 3-D engine with iPhone 4-ready, high-resolution graphics—unfortunately downscaled on the iPad, prior iPhones, and iPod touches—and a streamlined set Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:07:00 GMT http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/small-apps-updates-archetype-crystal-defenders-fring-samurai-wotw-tapbots-w/ iLounge Articles (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/no_iphone_4_facetime_alternatives_rest_us Posted 07/14/2010 at 11:10am | by J.R. Bookwalter There’s no doubt that Apple’s new iPhone 4-only FaceTime feature is great, and the company is letting everyone know about it with an avalanche of new television commercials. But whether you’re stuck on an older iPhone or you don’t have any iPhone 4-toting friends to video chat with, there are thankfully some free App Store alternatives to FaceTime--if you know where to look. Oh, and did we mention these are all free? fring The app that most closely resembles the functionality of FaceTime is fring. Developer fringland Ltd. was the first to bring one-way video calls to the iPhone in a previous version, allowing at least computer users with webcams to be seen on the handset. Thanks to an update last week, free two-way video calls have now been added to the mix, and they actually one-up FaceTime by allowing such calls over Wed, 14 Jul 2010 19:10:53 GMT http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/no_iphone_4_facetime_alternatives_rest_us Mac|Life (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/aysimisya/statuses/18593432790 Wi-Fiじゃなくても３G回線でテレビ電話ができるらしい。 http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/fring/id290948830?mt=8 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:49:53 GMT http://twitter.com/aysimisya/statuses/18593432790 itunes app - Twitter Search (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/n_onlyrom/statuses/19452131093 ［３Ｇ回線ã*§å‹•ç”»ãƒ*ャットã*§ã**るアプリ］ã*“ã‚Œã*¯ã*„ã*„ã*®ã* ã‚*ã*†ã*‹ï¼Ÿãƒ‰ã‚³ãƒ¢ã*®ã‚¨ã‚¯ã‚¹ãƒšãƒªã‚¢ã*¨iPhoneã*§ã‚‚会話ã*§ã**ã‚‹ã Sun, 25 Jul 2010 00:07:08 GMT http://twitter.com/n_onlyrom/statuses/19452131093 itunes app - Twitter Search (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/RayWillz/statuses/20018498999 ...a matter of fact...

Bookwalter Back in June, Apple spent a great deal of hoopla touting the new FaceTime feature of the iPhone 4 -- but the market for video chat is heating up quickly, and now Yahoo has lined up to be the next contender in the App Store as well as on Android devices. Reuters is reporting that Yahoo is planning to update its popular Yahoo Messenger app to enable built-in video calling, according to the company’s vice-president of mobile for the Americas, David Katz. Yahoo’s video chat will be available as a free app for both the iPhone as well as Android devices. Yahoo is clearly taking aim at Apple’s new FaceTime, which is already being challenged by rivals such as fring and the recently released Tango -- although neither of those companies have the brand recognition of Yahoo.

Version 4.4 brings several handy features including VoiceOver on incoming messages with instant playback without tapping and history saving in IM+ web at plus.im. In addition, the application now works better with large contact lists, there are few improvements in the user interface and the lock orientation is repaired for the iPhone. Finally, Shape is now offering extra wallpapers for download, allowing users to customize their IM+ experience. And if you’re not sure what IM+ is all about, you should know it enables chatting with your friends across social and IM networks — including Skype, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk and so on. It’s one of those apps everyone should have installed on its iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Alternatively, there are other iOS apps that provide the same feature set such as Truphone, Fring Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:01:46 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/QSVmH3ZrXPw/ IntoMobile (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/sky1ne/statuses/29655844606 ...for #iPhone updated to v.3.3.1.8 -improved connectivity- http://bit.ly/89USJO...

Then there are those with other iOS devices, such as the iPad and the iPod Touch, both of those devices can be made into a phone if you’d like, thanks to some great VOIP apps that make free calling possible. Have a look at the currently-available Apps that allow you to make VOIP calls on your iOS device: 1) Viber – Free Phone Calls This a cool little App that’s popular right now. Viber doesn’t require you to create an account, doesn’t need you to create a username or hand over a credit card number. The only catch is that to call someone, they must also have Viber. It creates an identity with your current number and only uses your minutes if the other user doesn’t happen to have the App. Other highlights include the fact that it doesn’t Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:20:12 GMT http://feeds.ismashphone.com/~r/typepad/1209935315s4903/ismasher/~3/eO7OhMO6-RE/6-great-voip-apps-for-ios.html iSmashPhone (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://twitter.com/dontBtH/statuses/16707141435924480 ...fring: Video Calls + IM http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/...

Verbs, by #include tech software, is a simple and beautiful IM app that looks like it was designed by Apple itself. There are a ton of IM apps on the App Store (IM+, BeejiveIM, fring, AIM and Yahoo! Messenger to name a few).  I’ve used many, and honestly, most of them look pretty awful. I was so excited when I saw the Verbs design mockups several months ago, and the app recently received an update in the App Store that makes it definitely worth reviewing. While I’m not someone who constantly relies on instant messaging to communicate, I do see the benefit of having a solid IM app on the iPhone for occasionally hopping on Google Talk. The good thing is that Verbs has more to offer than just good looks… While the interface design of Verbs is stunning, it also packs some interesting surprises under the hood.

The update will eventually allow users to chat with up to four participants on-screen at once; fring's developers are allowing users to sign up for a beta version so that they can test it out before it's officially available on the App Store. Group video chats appear to be a bit choppy even in fring's announcement video (which you can view on the next page), but that could be due to any number of factors from the connection speed to the iPhone 4's processor. Thanks to Photo Booth, we already know the iPad 2 with its faster A5 processor can display multiple video streams at once without a hitch, so it'll be interesting to see whether the same is true for apps like fring. fring offered video chatting long before Skype's iOS app enabled it (and Wed, 06 Apr 2011 04:45:00 GMT http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/05/group-video-chat-coming-to-iphone-via-fring/ TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/gWkCcULxWIQ/ Fring, the company behind the popular mobile VoIP (where V is both for voice and video) app, announced that it has closed C-round of financing. The company’s current investors participated, including North Bridge Venture Capital, Pitango Venture Capital and Veritas Venture Partners. Fring will use the new money to additionally invest in technology and bring its video communication suite to new devices. Commenting on the news, Fring’s Co-Founder & CEO Avi Shechter said: “With the additional fuel injection from our visionary industry investors, in addition to our independent revenue streams, fring will re-double the rate at which we make fun, new ways we can all communicate, across any mobile platform.” Those unfamiliar should know that Fring offers free mobile Group Video calls, Video calls, calls and live chat on all major smartphones.

There are a number of apps that can make your travel easier, whether it’s about finding a place to stay, monuments and historical sights to see, or learning more about the city/place you’re visiting… there’s (usually) an app for that. Here are some apps I’ve found useful in my travels. Please note that I’m linking to iOS apps and that not all of them are available on other platforms. The point is to get the idea which apps to use for what purpose, to better plan and ultimately enjoy your trip. Let’s start with the flight search… Flight search Pretty much every major airline now has its iPhone app. Moreover, some companies support Android and BlackBerry whereas some others are experimenting with newer platforms like Windows Phone 7.

The app is the first free video call app for the iPad to offer group calling (Cisco's WebEx offers group video calls via iPad but is enterprise software and priced as such), with support for up to four simultaneous participants. Video Calls + IM for iPad is platform-agnostic like a good global citizen (for the most part), and lets users chat with friends on iPads, iPod touches, iPhones and compatible Android and Nokia devices. Plus, it works over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G. So no "Wi-Fi Blues" with fring Video Calls + IM for iPad. Finally, the app lets you send (free) instant messages to other devices, as the name indicates. The fring UI looks nice, as does the functionality. Add conference attendees with a drag-and-drop, while shiny, candy-like buttons welcome those with poor aim.

In addition to the must-have navigation apps and local guides from the likes of Lonely Planet, there are other applications that could help you save money while travelling. Here are the apps we suggest you to try out on your next trip: Groupon You’ve probably heard about Groupon and may have also used it. The daily deals service is getting more and more users every day, despite facing a tough competition from the likes of Facebook and Google, with Nokia and Microsoft planning to join the race, too. Their mobile application is available for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and they also have a mobile website for users of other mobile devices.
