If you have a WiFi connection (e.g. using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fon.com\">Fonera<\/a>) or a fast 3G connection, you can make video calls with up to four friends simultaneously for free and see them all on one screen. \u00a0This is useful at a social level but\u00a0also for people who are constantly on the move and need to hold frequent work-related meetings. Lately I am using video more and more at work and it is saving me a lot on air travel. It&#8217;s much more personal to have video calls than only hearing each other&#8217;s voices, and you avoid annoying things like people getting distracted or even walking out of the room during the conversation (really, that happens).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very happy that my friend Avi Schechter and his team at Fring keep coming up with great innovations.<\/p>\n<object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/v8WbBaMo6GY\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/v8WbBaMo6GY\" \/><param name=\"autostart\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><\/object><br \/>\n<!-- generated by WordPress plugin Embedded Video -->\n\n<div id=\"mainphotoarea\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-buttons\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/?p=5682\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"box_count\" data-width=\"71\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-font=\"arial\" data-locale=\"en_US\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fring has once more improved the mobile video calling world by introducing group video calling for Android and iPhone.
