The fringAPI enables third-party web-developers using only XML and JavaScript to create mobile versions of web-based applications, providing access to fring client GUI with web browser extensions and basic phone functions. All new applications can be enriched with fring’s built-in presence indicators including real-time awareness of users’ presence.

Fring’s service already features VoIP talk, multi-community chat, online presence, file transfer, 3G-Wi-Fi auto-roaming and more.

Alex Nerst, CTO of Fring, said. “By opening the fringAPI, we are now sharing our ‘mobile-internet key’ to let talented developers worldwide add-on any flavour of mobile internet fun and functionality for our users to enjoy. We’re looking forward to the ride, welcoming the worldwide pool of talented developers to join us in creating the best and broadest selection of mobile internet applications via fring.”
