Joining the likes of Palringo and JetSet, Fring is the latest multi-IM app available at the App Store. Fring, as the jailbreak community knows, has been around for quite sometime now, but this is the first time they’ve made their app available via Apple’s software store. What’s also unique to Fring is that aside from connecting with other IM services such as Yahoo, Google Talk, MSN, and AIM to name just a few, it also provides you with on-the-go VoIP through Skype. VoIP functionality, however, is limited to WiFi connectivity, but hey, at least it’s now finally there, right? What’s even better is that it won’t cost you a single penny. I’ve used Fring on a number of mobile devices, including a jailbroken iPod Touch, and I have to admit, I sorely missed it when I decided to give up my jailbreaking habit. Now, I totally have no regrets on turning clean since I can also get from the App Store. With this development, will all iPhone apps eventually land in the App Store at some point in time? I guess only time will tell.
