fring goes JavaME, Maemo Linux!

fring folks have been busy these days, I can tell. They’ve announced the new minifring app for JavaME-enabled phones which don’t support VoIP. That means the users of Nokia, Sony Ericsson and/or some other feature phones will be able to manage their IM presence, and chat with their buddies on multiple IM networks. Best of all, minifring will support fringAdd-ons!

In a related news, fring has made its app available for Nokia Internet Tablets. Users of Nokia N800 and N810 (I’m not sure will it work on the Nokia 770) can now make Internet calls and chat with their buddies while on the go.

What can I say – way to go fring!

The short video introducing the two new platforms 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.
