fringME! widget updated; Now works with UIQ smartphones

fring has just announced that they’ve updated the fringME! widget to allow web-to-mobile chat feature. The idea is to provide users with a widget they could use on their blog, social network profile or website and allow their visitors to contact them while on-the-go. In addition, Symbian S60 users with GPS-equipped handsets can also show their location to site/blog/profile visitors using the “Find Me” function. Unfortunately this isn’t available for UIQ smartphones, but then again there are no single GPS-equipped Symbian UIQ smartphone at the moment. Yeah, you could use the Bluetooth GPS receiver, but that’s a hassle.

Anyway, to start using fringME! you will need the latest version of fring. Then simply visit the fringME! web page to choose a widget design, copy and paste an html code onto your chosen web pages, switch on and configure fringME! on your mobile handset, and you’re ready to go.
