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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
