Chat app brings VoIP to the iPhone and iPod touch with mixed results

by Mathew Honan, Macworld.com

Sometimes chatting with your friends and colleagues on the Internet can feel like tracking down a great diaspora across continents and seas, with one person logging on at AIM, while another prefers GTalk, and a third refuses to touch anything other than ICQ. While programs such as Adium have long since resolved this problem on the desktop by allowing users to fire up one app and access multiple platforms, the iPhone is still new enough that these issues are just getting shaken out. Fring from Fringland is one of several apps attempting to resolve this, and better yet, it’s also one of a handful of providers bringing VoIP to the iPhone. To date, it does both with mixed results.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Nice IM App

I really like this app. I am able to a IM all the people from my Skype, Gmail, and Facebook. One of the greatest advantages is that it is free - compared to paying $15 for BeeHive this does the trick.
