Title: Fring app brings group video calling to iPhone Post by: HCK on April 27, 2011, 11:00:12 pm Fring app brings group video calling to iPhone
Fring has updated its popular iOS IM app to allow group video calls on the iPhone. This is a first for group video calling on any iOS device as far as I know and its a much welcome feature. The group video calling allows you to video chat with up to three of your other friends over 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi. To take advantage of the new group video calling features, you'll need an iPhone 4 or the latest iPod touch with front-facing camera. Technically, the app will work with devices with only rear-facing cameras, but that kind of defeats the purpose of video calling if you need to have the rear camera on you and can't look at the screen and see the people you are chatting with. Best of all, Fringe works cross-platform, so you can video chat with people on Android devices. Android requirements are pretty much the same as iOS requirements, users just need Android 2.2 or later and a phone with front and rear cameras. Fring is available now as a free download.
