Geeky Things

Today just tried the new Fring for iPhone. That’s the best way to connect IM on iPhone I’ve ever seen. Although many web apps (such as JiveTalk) already made connect to popular IM such as MSN and Google Chat on iPhone possible, most of them are not stable and cannot maintain connection when you leave Safari or when you close the iPhone.

In contrast, Fring is much better — For example, even when you close Fring, Fring will just hide itself to the background, so that when someone send you a message, it will ring and show the number of message you have missed just like the SMS and Email App. built in.

Besides IM ability, Fring can also connect Skype and SIP ’s VOIP function! (although it seems not really useful for me — why would I borther voip when iPhone is a full feature GSM phone itself? And I don’t do much long distance call neither)

In a word: Fring is really the dream app for iPhone! It turns my iPhone to the best communication devices! Phone / SMS / Mail, and now MSN / GTalk!!!
