Roughly a month ago we’ve covered Palringo multi-network IM client for the iPhone. Now they’ve announced the addition of the vocal instant messaging functionality (aka push-to-talk) to its rich messaging application to make it even more usable for the end-users.
Palringo’s CEO Kerry Ritz said that they’ve “completed the suite of ways in which people can communicate with each other using an iPhone.”
“When we launched Palringo for the iPhone, we said that our vocal IM functionality would be added imminently. We’ve kept the promise we made to the thousands and thousands of iPhone users who downloaded Palringo and made us one of the most popular free applications from the App Store,” he added.
Palringo for the iPhone is free and easy to download and install from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s AppStore. No hidden costs, catches or other charges are involved.
Push-to-talk has to be the worst “innovation” EVAR…
“I’m at the supermarket, over.”
“Don’t forget the milk, over.”
“Roger that. Wondering why everyone’s looking at me with intent to kill, over.”
