Fring brings VOIP to iPhone

From their press release:

A fringing world first for mobile VoIP & iPhone
fring pre-releases world's frist publicly available mobile VoIP over WiFi application for iPhone

LONDON, 15^th April 2008, fring® today became the world’s first mobile VoIP application to be made publicly available for the iconic apple iPhone™, enabling users to talk, chat and interact with other fring users (“fringsters”) and all of their online communities, using their iPhone’s™ WiFi connection.

A light, sneak preview R&D version of the phenomenally popular 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™ from www.fring.com/fring_is/fringcubator. 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 fring and discover the freedom of being able to take their fring^™ contacts and buddies from their other favorite online communities mobile on their iPhones. They will also have the ability to make free and low cost mobile calls over WiFi & enjoy rich, IM-style live chat with their online contacts, regardless of whether they are on their mobiles, PC’s or other internet devices.

Guess who just installed it :)
