This is a great news for all Android fans and owners. You can now make Voip calls using Skype for Free using Fring App for Android phones. Fring is a popular application that lets anyone make free Skype, Google Talk, MSN, or SIP calls from any phone and now they have launched an app for Android as well. This is the first major VOIP app for Android.

Skype for Android + IM + much more = Fring

Making free Skype calls from a Wi-Fi connection on your handset is a pretty neat feature in itself, but Fring aims to be a universal call and chat coordinator. It works just as expected, over EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.
The app lets users make free calls, live chat, contact availability status, file share and more with friends on fring and several social services including Skype, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo! and AIM. Centralized from one integrated contact list, fringsters also make calls to regular phone lines via Skype-Out and hundreds of popular SIP services over 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi internet connection.

Twitter is also integrated, and it looks like the fring app works...
This is a Guest post by BinaryDay guest-blogging-opportunities If you are like most new bloggers, you have number of great ideas waiting to be converted into blog posts, you have written a few good articles and now you are waiting for deluge of traffic. You are confident that anyone who reads your blog post will definitely like them and your blog will go viral. But for all that to happen you need the initial set of users and you have no clue how to get them. I was struggling with the same problem while working on my website about second hand bikes in India . There are a lot of used bikes websites already in place and I wanted to get to the top fast. What made my task even more challenging was the fact that it is impossible to write a link-bait in the second hand bikes domain. That is when I got this idea of using guest blogging to get the initial set of targeted users.

Advantages of guest blogging

Late last night, Google hosted an event giving insight into its much hyped Google Chrome OS, an overview of the technology and launch plans for its launch next year. Google has also released the open source Chrome OS source code which can be downloaded as well. As per Sergey Brin, 7 seconds is all it takes for Google OS to start running after a cold boot. Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management at Google, said the OS would boot as fast as turning on a TV, and run even faster than the Chrome browser on Windows. All of the applications will be web apps - nothing will be installed locally. "In Chrome OS, every application is a web application. There are no conventional desktop applications," Pichai said. In case you are wondering how Google Chrome OS would look like check out these exclusive collection of screenshots we have been able to gather up till now.

Chrome OS is an entirely new approach to computing. The average computer user spends most of his or her time on the Internet, so Google wants to cut out the middleman: the traditional operating system, which sits between a computer's hardware and a Web browser. Chrome OS is a operating system that is a Web browser – or a Web browser that is an operating system. Essentially, it is Google's current browser, Chrome, bulked-up with systems for browsing files, connecting devices, printing documents and keeping the computer secure.

nokia-n900-cheap

Here is a quick heads up on the availability of Nokia N900 Unlocked mobile phone in US and the best deal available as of date. Nokia N900 began shipping to other parts of the world earlier this week and has just arrived in US. N900 is undoubtedly a powerful gadget and the best bet against Apple's iPhone and Google's Android. Just recently, Nokia announced that from now on all the models under the N-series will now be powered by Maemo OS. The N900’s hardware specs are equally impressive to match: ARM Cortex A8 processor, 256 MB of dedicated RAM, 32 GB of storage expandable via microSD, full QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel camera, and a 3.5-inch touchscreen at 800 x 480 resolution. It features native Adobe Flash support for full-featured web browsing, with even the ability to run Google Wave.

Best Deal for Nokia N900 Unlocked phone

I must admit that I was unhappy to see the pricing of Nokia N900, especially the unlocked version of it. Nokia has priced it at $649 which is definitely on a higher side. Luckily, Amazon has a nice offer going on where it would cost $559 $479 after...
