Apple has introduced incredible new features with the iPhone 4 and FaceTime that developers can now tap into in regards to Two Way Video Calling and Fring has jumped to tackle the opportunity right away. Back in December Fring added video calling support but the lack of a camera on the front limited video calls to one-way calls only. This was the case until the iPhone 4 came along and brought us a front-facing camera. Now Fring has updated their application to work both ways (works similar to FaceTime). Yep, that's right, video calling without FaceTime and with multiple devices. You can't expect everything to run extremely smooth with video streaming, but the fact it can be done over 3G and Wi-Fi and that ir brings iPhone 4 and 3GS users together without FaceTime makes it pretty impressive. Furthermore, you can also have these video calls with users on other devices including Android based phones and Nokia phones. Here is what Fring had to say:
With the new fring for iPhone you get lots of fring goodies including 2 way video-calling where you want and with whom you want!The newest update makes the application available for iOS 4 multitasking and includes a new social stream as well as a new address book update. The iTunes link can be found here.
- Face-to-face video calls with friends on their Droids, Nokia (Symbian S60) and other iPhones
- Video calls over 3G or Wi-Fi (Performance over 3G is subject to mobile operators' 3G coverage & quality)
