Fring has finally turned itself legit.  Today it made its appearance at the app staore and amazingly, it is free.  It looks to be full-featured except for the Push Notifications.  Hopefully we'll be seeing an upgrade around version 2.2.

Don't just sit there, download!

Fring is now available on the App Store making it easy for anyone to use fring on the original iPhone, iPhone 3G or iPod touch.

All you need to do is download fring on the App Store and within minutes you can make free calls with other fringsters™ or via fring using Skype, Skype-out or any SIP providers you choose.

Cool! I downloaded it and installed it! But honestly, I have no idea how it works. Not super-intuitive. Maybe it tries to do too much, or maybe I haven't studied it enough, or maybe I'm stupid.

Does anyone know how Fring compares to Palringo?

I like it so far. good. not great. my home phone is skype so it's super useful. but until I can receive calls while the phone is asleep it's only half useful. and they need to fix the lag. there is about a 5 second lag on voice calls.

what's the benefit of Fring vs. Palringo? I've been using Palringo for over a year (Windows Mobile and then iPhone) and it can do a lot, if not all, of what Fring says it can do...and it's also free.
