fring for iPod Touch (version 0.9786)

May 30, 2008 by

fring Many of you are familiar with fring and as you know frig was developed for the iPhone however, they have had a ton of requests to make it more compatible with the iPod Touch. Well, you asked and they delivered. Today, version 0.9786 of fring was released making it compatible with the iPod Touch. Here is what the developer has to say:

Just like the original version created for the iPhone, this is the same special pre-release R&D version with some chat bugs fixed so now you can mobile internet chat & interact in fring-style on your iPod touch (I know I am stating the obvious… but as there is no Microphone the iPod touch…. it means no fring calls as well).

Doug and I also found that this version works a lot smoother for us. He was able to call Skype on my computer, I was able to call his iPhone from Skype on my computer and we were able to call from iPhone to iPhone using fring. Very, very cool! fring is vailable through the fring source.

Below is a video of the developer using fring on an iPod Touch.


Watch “fring for iPod Touch” on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

fring 0.9785

May 7, 2008 by

fring There are no visual changes with version 0.9875 of fring. However, below is a list of the changes (via the developer).



1. Issues resulting in deleted SMS (additional QA work on our side still in progress).
2. mVoIP calls on 1.1.2 are now fully supported.
3. Incoming SIP calls are also available with this new version.

I still think the app is a little sketchy. I am able to randomly make outgoing calls to Skype from my iPhone. I still am unable to make calls from Skype to my iPhone. Let me know if you have the same results. fring is available through the fring source.
