Fring's Video calling 3G apps for android, iPhone and Nokia are ready.

Popular mobile VoIP and chat client Fring has released  its updated mobile app to add support for 2-way video calling for the iPhone 4. The new iPhone has FaceTime, but the Fring app has two big advantages over Apple’s video calling feature: 3G support and compatibility across multiple platforms.

Fring  launched video calls on iPhone last year, giving iPhone 3GS users a simple way to make calls, although 2-way video calling wasn’t possible because the 3GS didn’t have a front-facing camera.

Today’s update finally makes Fring compatible with 2-way video calling on the iPhone 4. While it’s easier to initiate or receive a FaceTime call, the company is betting that people will use Fring because it allows them to call friends without an iPhone 4 — one of the big restrictions to FaceTime. Fring’s 3G connectivity also addresses another shortcoming of Apple’s video calling feature: it only works on Wi-Fi.

FaceTime  being an open platform, lets hope that Fring will integrate FaceTime into its mobile apps to have a wonderfull and enjoyable experience for the user.
