Yes, it is a bit of a mouthful but another killer app has just been launched. It is fring on the iPhone.
What is fring? Fring (http://www.fring.com) is an application running in the iPhone. With an wifi or GSM/EDGE setup, it is now possible to make calls from handphone to handphone using the wifi network.
What that means for izzinet is that the UTY which will be retailed should be a popular item. Suddenly, a subscription to izzinet iBurst network can now be used for surfing the network and well as making handphone to handphone calls without paying per minute call charges. This app supports Skype, GoogleTalk, MSN, YahooChat, Twitter and AIM. It is still in beta but we can expect great things from it soon as it reaches maturity. We await its official release out of beta.
Wow. I think the Izzinet iBurst network has just increased its value. We have a ready-made handphone in the form of an iPhone. Even before the Wimax operators have managed to rollout their network, we are there already with arguably the hottest handphone in the world. Yes!!!
