<p>Whoah! <a href="http://www.fring.com">fring</a> today announced that their development team is finishing up on a <em>really</em> cool new feature - free group video calls that works on both the Android and the iPhone.</p>
<p>As far as I know this is the first free Group Video call feature for any mobile phone. This fring-feature lets up to 4 friends video call each other simultaneously. According to the <a href="http://www.fring.com/blog/?p=2857">fring blog</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So, if you don&rsquo;t mind a little bit of set up, we&rsquo;d love to invite a <strong>limited number of our users</strong> to give us some &lsquo;real world&rsquo; feedback on the service. As this is a  product in testing, you may find the odd bug or wrinkle, thanks for your  patience and please let us know if you find one.</p>
<p>If you love video calling, are keen to provide feedback and are interested in joining this limited beta, please fill out <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEM1eXpHUmtWZDVmS3g0YllfRkRMYXc6MQ">this form</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm filling out the form right now. Damn it, where's my IMEI for my iPhone? <img title="silly-me-smack-head" src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/mt-static/plugins/TinyMCE/lib/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/silly-me-smack-head.gif" border="0" alt="silly-me-smack-head" /> Forgot how to pull that info. I need that to sign up. Anyway, here's a demo showing Group Video Calls in action:</p>
