Fring is a essentially an instant messaging platform that allows you to use AOL, MSN, Yahoo and all the other popular instant messaging systems.  It supports Skype calls as well, and works on the iPhone.

Big deal, you say.  Skype has an iPhone app.

Ever make a video call on your iPhone with Skype?  As of now, you can’t do it.

You can with Fring.

Rock on!  Now you can make video calls with your iPhone using Fring.  How cool is that?

Hat tip to the VOIP & Gadgets Blog for the information about this new functionality.
