Fring for iPhone Gets Updated With Video Calls
Fring has added video calling support to the iPhone and iPod touch via Skype. This is a huge step further. iPhone became a videophone!
It works on Fring to Fring, and Skype to Fring. Unfortunately, it’s not bi-directional. You would be able to see whoever is calling you from a desktop, but you won’t be able to transmit your image.
