First fringAdd-ons

Roughly 10 days ago we wrote that fring has opened up its platform allowing third-party developers to create the so called fringAdd-ons and additionally drive fring’s functionality forward.

The first batch of fringAdd-ons is now available and it includes Facebook, Gmail notifier, Orkut, vTap and Yandex.mail notifier. In order to give these apps a try, you’ll need the latest version of fring (download from here) and afterwards manage them from “Options” -> “settings” -> “manage add-ons” and you’re almost there….

The short, 3-minute video follows after the jump.

Dusan Belic

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.

    Love the new add ons, but google notifier doesn’t work – it doesn’t display or notify me of email, it just says “No Mail Here”? Would be such a great add on, if it worked!
