Android beats iPhone to the punch with video calling

Besting Apple's next iPhone by at least a few weeks, Fring announced today the general availability of its Fring 2.1 software for Android. With a front-facing camera phone like the Sprint EVO 4G, you can now make video calls to your Skype contacts on their computers or other devices with front facing cameras.


The video quality isn't fantastic -- compare to a significantly-compressed YouTube video. Audio is the same. Fring promises better quality in upcoming releases.

That being said, you now have a mobile teleconferencing solution built into your Android phone



Apple's (AAPL) new iPhone 4/HD hardware leaks have had front-facing cameras and Video iChat has been found in the beta code. They are widely expected to announce this functionality at their WWDC in June.
