Some time ago we wrote about Pinger and their voice-sms-kind-of-service. Now, they’re out with new offering called Pinger Phone. We’re talking about a mobile application here which provides users with a simple interface for managing and communicating with phone contacts as well as with friends on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
From Pinger’s release:
People can see IM presence in their contacts or their social network feeds, and then decide whether to call, text, instant message, mail or even send a Facebook, MySpace or Twitter message, all from one simple menu. Pinger Phone is a free application and available now on iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Pinger plans to develop versions of Pinger Phone on BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM), Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Windows Mobile, Palm (NSDQ: PALM) and Symbian.
Some of the Pinger Phone features include:
- The Pinger Menu - A single menu from where users can call, text, IM, mail, or even send a Facebook, MySpace or Twitter message to contacts.
- Social network feed consolidation - Facebook, MySpace and Twitter feeds pulled together into a clutter-free format.
- Faster IM with horizontal keyboard - automatically switches to the horizontal keyboard for faster and more accurate typing. IM networks supported include AIM, Yahoo! IM, MSN IM and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Talk.
- Free texting to any US mobile phone
Pinger Phone is available as a free application for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone and iPod Touch users from the AppStore. Other mobile platforms — including BlackBerry, Microsoft Windows Mobile, Palm and Symbian — will be supported in the near future.
