Fring has announced the addition of its new fring Add-on applications which will make social networking, video streaming and e-mail notification available to fringsters. These applications have been designed to enrich the experience of fring’s mobile Internet service and community.

 

Fringsters now get a taste of a new, fun way to enjoy and experience the Internet on-the-go from any supported mobile device, simply with the latest version of fring and a data plan with the release of these early fring Add-ons.

 

Fring Add-ons are integrated into fring and are completely free to activate. They complement the existing communication features and use its always-connected mobile Internet capability to provide instant, hassle-free interactive access to pre-selected Internet services. Fringsters can remain more connected than ever before and get even more out of taking their online world mobile with fring. It also provides real-time, two-way experiences.

 

The first fring Add-ons released include a handy mobile version of social networks, video streaming and e-mail notification applications directly from within fring. Fringsters get continuous, real-time updates of all the key developments in their Facebook and Orkut accounts. Additionally, a Gmail alert provides fringsters with connectivity to Facebook and to Google’s (News - Alert) social network, orkut. Fring Add-ons alert users to their incoming Gmail messages and VTap, a new mobile video search and streaming service.

 

Fringsters just need to subscribe to their selected fring Add-ons from the new “Manage Add-ons” menu (Options>Settings>Manage Add-ons) to activate the new fring Add-ons. The fring Add-on applications appear as familiar icons in the fringster’s contact list once selected. The new fring Add-ons will automatically appear in the menu as they become available and the “Manage Add-ons” menu will be continually updated.

 

Avi Shechter, co-founder and CEO of fring commented, “The release of fringAdd-ons represents a natural and exciting step in the evolution of fring, designed to bring the richest user experience possible and put all of the fringster’s communication and mobile Internet needs into one place with functionality and useful features that are fun, enjoyable and easy to use. We look forward to rolling out new fring Add-ons developed by third parties and independent developers to enrich the experience even further as soon as they become available.”
