Fring has launched a new service called FringOut. FringOut is a service that lets you make cheaper international calls that begin at under 1 cent per minute in cost.

If you are running a Nokia S60 device you can grab the Fring install now. Once installed you’ll need to signup for the FringOut service. When you have registered you’ll then be able to start making international calls from your smartphone at low rates. [Read more…]

As well as supporting the higher resolution screen, the app store app also supports iOS 4 quick-app-switching allowing you to jump in and out of the app when needed and carry on where you left off. [Read more…]

Seems like progress is being made with the iOS 4.1 jailbreak. The Chronic Dev-Team is behind this one who posted a very brief update on the GreenPois0n tool that they are launching.

The tool is designed to jailbreak all iOS 4.1 devices as well as past versions of iOS.

Many people in the comments are asking for a progress update. Any kind of update that we could actually give would be too technical for anyone to understand anyway, not to mention potentially reveal the exploit. Just know that things are going swimmingly and we are working as hard as we can.

Could Facebook really be concieving the idea of a ‘Facebook’ smart phone?? Quite possibly, though many people (including facebook themselves) have denied these rumors.

Via Mashable…

Spokesperson Jaime Schopflin revealed the following in a statement to Mashable:

“The story, which originated in Techcrunch, is not accurate. Facebook is not building a phone. Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social. Current projects include include everything from an HTML5 version of the site to apps on major platforms to full Connect support with SDKs to deeper integrations with some manufacturers.  Our view is that almost all experiences would be better if they were social, so integrating deeply into existing platforms and operating systems is a good way to enable this. For an example, check out Connect for iPhone and the integration we have with contact syncing through our iPhone app.  Another example is the INQ1 phone with Facebook integration (the first so-called ‘Facebook Phone’). The people mentioned in the story are working on these projects. The bottom line is that whenever we work on a deep integration, people want to call it a ‘Facebook Phone’ because that’s such an attractive soundbite, but building phones is just not what we do.”

As well as announcing the HTC Desire HD, HTC has also announced the HTC Desire Z today.

The HTC Desire Z has a “pop out” QWERTY keyboard that pops out rather than slides out. The Desire Z will also run Android 2.2 when the phone launches soon.

The processor running in the Desire Z is an 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 which puts it a little slower than the Desire HD although you need to weigh up what you’ll use the smartphone for and if you want or don’t want a physical QWERTY keyboard. [Read more…]
