Fring Update Brings Video Chat Between iPhone and Android
Too glitchy to take off

Although I'm glad to see video calling over 3G, the truth of the matter is Fring is utter crap. Android users may have standards low enough for Fring, but it's less hassle to find a WiFi hotspot and Facetime the call than it is to try and use that piece of crap.
Well, it isn't really fair to compare WiFi video calling vs 3G video calling ... what is the quality of Fring over WiFi vs Facetime over the same WiFi? That's the real comparison.
Gather some like-minded people, do your thing.
From what I've read, you have the ability (and the credit score to get yourself a business loan) to make a difference, so stop whining and start working!
-OR-
Fring can get its servers to work properly, update their application for proper iOS4 support, and develop a better video buffering setup.
-OR-
Apple or Skype will just enable vChat over 3G.
And it's not "easier to just find wifi for facetime" because atm, the only thing supporting facetime is the iphone4.
Fring, and similar programs integrate with:
-iPhone4
-Android
-PC's
-Macs
-etc.
Now, what's easier? Convincing everyone you know to buy an iphone4 (including your grandmother who lives in BFE) or using a program (even with the bugs) that enables you to talk to everyone, and will get better with time?
Maybe with your amazing credit score you can afford to buy an iphone (and pay for the service) for everyone you know. The rest of us mere mortals are really happy with the choices offered.
