FYI..  I tried visiting the link to iTunes store mentioned on Google Blog but encountered an error 3212 on iTunes as shows below. This could be because of the antiviurs blocking iTunes from going onoine.

Fring

With being too nagging to approve applications for iPhones, people often resort jail breaking to get these applications working on their phone. This was the case up until now for , a free mobile Voice-over-IP service (VoIP). However, this application is now available officially at .

What does this mean. This means that now you don’t have to jailbreak or hack your to get this application running on your phone and now skype calls can be made on the iPhones. Using you can also chat with your friends over Talk, AIM, MSN and Yahoo messenger and also Frings own chat service.

Also watch the video below to see this software in action ;)

If you love to use skype and have been waiting for a solution that can make skype service available on your then your wait is over. Grab your Fring application from the apple store.

Things have gone beyond emails and personal messages. I can keep track of my buddies on and it’s much more powerful non-intriguing way of knowing what your pals are up to. There are plenty of applications for integrating on . That’s not the point I am trying to make.

Think about this. There are various ways of using and you keep a track of what’s happening. But isn’t it kind of boring.

Now think about this. What if you have a service that tells you where your friend sent a tweet from when she/he uses an to send that Tweet. Sounds interesting and right out of a James bond flick. But that’s possible now. All it requires is your friend using to tweet and a service called as iPhoneTwitters.

What it does is it shows ou from what part of the world your friend twittered using their . Think of the possibility. Your Girlfriend is sends a tweet using her mobile and you get a glimpse of where she is. For a surprise you go reach that place in no time with some flowers in hand and plan for great evening. Caution, it can also lead you to find out that your girlfriend is cheating on you.

This service just blows off the the concept of privacy. But I mean does privacy really matter in today’s world. The mashup of this kind is very new and I am sure this service will grow as more and more people will use and using . But this will change the way we interact and take it to a new level.

The serive is still in very early stages and could become an instant hit in no time.
