If you want to communicate with someone to get a specific message across, there’s no better way than to pick up the phone. But there are times when you want to shoot the breeze, or just listen in. Blabbelon is a private service that helps people gather and communicate using extremely high voice quality, much better than your regular cellphone. Best of all, it’s completely free. Blabbelon has been available through standard Internet browsers for a while, and sure you’ll still find web Blabbelon full of even more great features at http://blabbelon.com, but now you can keep chatting even when you’re out and about with your iPhone. The Blabbelon App works great on any iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS4, and will let you communicate via 3G or WiFi. So much easier than a conference service, you can have a bunch of friends, all in one chat. Once you’re logged in, communicate with your contacts either from your mobile device or from your PC or Mac. Blabbelon makes it easy to connect, with very large groups of people, and even easier to just hang out. Blabbelon uses push-to-talk, which means that people take turns speaking by pressing the big ‘Talk’ button on the screen. You can talk to 10’s, 100’s, and even 1000’s of users simultaneously. This means that you can be on Blabbelon with your many friends, family and professional contacts either one-on-one, or in groups – just the way you want it for as long as you want. What’s great about Blabbelon is that you never have to “hang up”….keep Blabbelon running, then all you ever have to do is push the button and say “hello.”

fring, an application that lets users communicate and share web-based experiences from their mobile devices, has announced video calling.
“Right now iPhone and iPod touch users can receive and make fring and Skype video calls entirely over Internet connection (for free!) and see the person on the other end. When a front camera is placed on these, we’ll have two-way video calls available here too just as we do on all the supported Nokia devices.”
Video calling can be used over WiFi and is currently only one-way (due to the fact that the iPhone’s camera is on the back of the device). You are able to video call someone on Skype, using fring, but you will only be able to see the other person… they will not be able to see you. This feature is part of the newest version of fring so you will need to update fring in order to use it.
“Now iPhone and iPod touch users can also live video with their fring and Skype buddies, while on the go! The new fring version with video calls support is currently available to users with iPhone/ iPod touch OS 3.0 (only incoming video-stream available, due to the location of the camera on iPhone/iPod)”
