Yes, this is something I have been waiting for from the day I moved from my iPaq PDA to iPhone. Wanted Fring to produce a iPhone native app. I have been using Fring from last 1 years now and just loved it. I could make skype calls, use my SIP(VoIP) if needed, had all my IP messengers Gtalk, ICQ, Yahoo, AOL and MSN under one app. And now we have Fring on iPhone.

Installed it last night and man this rocks, I have just fallen in love with this app. It has everything. I called up my friend in US using skpye in fring and it worked like a charm(The app crashed a few times though).

This stuff is just awesome. And the best thing about this app, it works in the background. So even if I close the app and move on to use some other app, fring still continues. ANd when there is a message or a call, it starts ringing Amazing.

By the way, Fring is an Israeli startup that offers VOIP & Chat service for mobile phone. Click here for the press release.

This comes as a relief for iPhone users like me, who have been looking for a mobilechat alternative from quite some time now. MobileChat doesn’t work with Gtalk for some reason. iChabber comes as another option.

Pretty interesting and simple interface making it just the thing I would want to use. The only complain, if you guys could support MSN and Yahoo messenger support, I would just love it.

Here is what the people behind this native app have to say - Gtalk/Jabber client with simple user interface for the ipod touch and iphone. HTTP proxy connection is supported. The application tested with ipod touch and iphone firmware 1.1.4.
