fring announced the launch of a new version of its mobile phone application, packed with additional features which enable anyone with a compatible handset to talk, chat, and interact with other fring users (fringsters) from their mobile phones. The new feature-rich fring offers an enhanced chat client, unique file transfer functionality, and local language options.

With fring’s new file transfer feature, fringsters can swap music tracks, pictures, video clips and other files between each other, from mobile to mobile and mobile to PC quickly and reliably without the need for MMS, cable, Bluetooth, or Infrared connections. And because its fring, the connection is made via the phones’ mobile internet capability, using the already paid for data plan, so there’s no extra cost. fringsters simply choose whether to send the files from fring to fring, or via their PC with their MSN application.

fringsters enjoy voice calls over the mobile phone’s internet channel, and real-time instant message chat instead of SMS with a new comprehensive list of the favorite internet communities from their mobiles - fring, Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Twitter, and now Yahoo! AIM, with familiar PC-style indicators that cleverly display whether their contacts are online, away, offline, in a call, on their mobiles or in front of their PCs.

The new fring version has enhanced chat features including new real-time displays alerting the user of new incoming chat, real time typing indication and easier navigation between different chat windows, making for rich PC-style interaction.

fringsters can also choose to activate the fringME! web feature, making themselves contactable from any PC via their own web pages, blogs, home pages, email signatures, MySpace, and soon Facebook pages. A fringster can add the fringME! feature to almost anywhere he or she has an internet presence.

fringME! also allows fringsters with GPS enabled handsets to choose whether to have their real-time location displayed via a pop-up GoogleMap.
