The Fring client is a social networking client for WinMo and PC, and it already provides access to lots of popular services,

you can interact with friends on all your favourite social networks including Skype®, MSN Messenger®, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®. You can listen to music with your Last.fm friends, check out what each other are up to on Facebook, receive alerts of new Google Mail™ and tailor make your very own fring by adding more cool experiences from fringAdd-ons™

Fring may have just become a useful service, for one reason, a way to connect to  any available wifi network,

Of course the vid actually meets my geek rating as well!

Just a quick heads up, the mobile client for Microsoft’s MyPhone service, got an update today. There aren’t any obvious differences, except doing multiple syncs with the service are remembered and get quicker.

Which probably means that using the scheduling option, is more of a viable choice now, consuming much less data.

As for the online portal, it seems a little better at the moment, but it is time intensive to archive all of your data there, a great thing would be a ‘select all’ option for archiving your data. Nice to see though that MS are continuing to improve, what is intended to be an integral service in their ongoing mobile development.

All you have to do to get the update is open the client on your phone and sync, at the end of synchronisation you  will get an update message, you have a choice to delay the update as well.

Thanks to @EdHans for the news!

If you’re like me. and have tried the Windows My Phone service out a little bit, but decided that it’s still a bit half baked, undercooked, to be a viable stand alone syncing service for your WinMo phone you probably didn’t set it to update automatically. Besides the fact that you are going to need an unlimited data plan, to support this function, there might be a few tricks that you are missing if you don’t manually sync regularly. One feature that a lot of people have missed is the fact that any updates to the phone side app, are notified, applied at the end of the syncing process.

Now this is not insider info, I noted a tweet this afternoon from @MSMyPhone, dropped the information, so I manually synced when I got home and Viola, an update to be sure. Not sure what it fixes exactly, and the only thing I could find about it at the MyPhone Blog or user forum was this mention,

The update fixes an issue with regards to syncing documents to the device.
Please install the update and everything would work fine.
Thanks
