I got some great news for iPhone/iPod touch users. fring has just released a slick, brand- new version (2.0.0.4) with lots of new features available, including a new look, more integration between social networks, improved voice and much more. The new version is now available on the App Store .

The new version includes a new user profile, which allows you to update your fring nickname, avatar and mood text, and broadcast it back to your IM friends. You can also see your friends’ avatars and mood texts from other networks – currently on Skype, others coming soon.

You can also now use SkypeOut & SIP to call your friends directly from the fring address book with a much clearer line thanks to our voice team’s big effort to improve voice quality.

If that’s not enough, they added copy/paste & linking capabilities to save you time while chatting away with your friends and speakerphone support for all voice calls. German users can also now enjoy fring on iPhone/ iPod touch in their native language.
