Fring has been released in BETA form, allowing users to take advantage of Skype, MSN, ICQ and more on their iPhones.

fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact with your social networks on-the-go, make free calls and live chat with all your fring, Skype®, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet connection rather than costly cellular airtime minutes.

More info here, and the Fring can be downloaded by adding the following source to Installer: http://fring.com/iphone.xml

I’m going to have a play with this tonight hopefully, but if you get there first, be sure to let us know what you think.

Actually, I don’t know anyone with Skype! Doh!
