Fring now does voice and video calls over 3G.

It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch, and the moment the first VOIP app was approved a while ago, we knew we’d be seeing a barrage of new apps integrating the feature. So when I say spoil the bunch, I really mean spoil iPhone users because frankly things are about to get awesome up in the appstore. This week has brought rumours of video streaming over 3G, and now with voice and video calls being possible, it looks like mobile networks are beginning to realize that their data bundles are going to be more important than their cellular bundles in the very near future.

You should keep in mind that there’s no front facing camera on the iPhone so it won’t be a video chat, instead you’ll see the incoming callers video feed, and they’ll hear your audio.  If there was ever a case for a front-facing camera Fring just made it. Fring is free on the appstore.
