FRING GROUP VIDEO CHAT ON iOS AND ANDROID

Apple’s unveiled of the FaceTime is very magical and somewhat epic too. I mean, they managed to woo the crowd into something that’s so 2005, and what’s more it doesn’t work over GSM, and you’ve gotta find a bloody WiFi connection, and what’s more you can only FaceTime one person at a time. But it’s cool, so no biggie there. Right, well here’s another thing that you can have, and that’s Fring. Fring’s been around for quite some time now, and they’ve recently been testing group video call on Android and iOS. Yes, group video call on your iPhone!

The feature will allow up to four users to simultaneously connect, face-to-face in a Brady Bunch-like mosaic as seen above. The beta is currently accepting applicants, so if you think you’re worthy, and you hate FaceTime so much yet still own an iPhone, then head over to the source link to apply. Shame on you Steve Jobs!

EVENT COUNTDOWN CLOCK

Here"s the stylish stainless steel clock functions as a regular alarm clock, plus it is an event countdown timer for any 3 events. All it does is to show you time. Every day you wake up to the same dull clock and see the days pass by with just a glimpse of your eye. Sucks right? Yep, sucks that you can only pre-set 3 events, so this still puts you into dilemma. The Event Countdown Clock is currently available at the Sharper Image for USD$30. Yes, it’s awesome to look at the clock when you wake up and realize that there’s still 300 days before your next annual vacation to Bali. Feels awesome, or sucks?

SONY PSP AND NGP MUSIC UNLIMITED STREAMING TO XPERIA PLAY

The Sony Next Generation Portable (NGP) isn’t out yet, but it’s worth Sony’s mention. Sony’s streaming subscription music service, Music Unlimited, is headed to both the PlayStation Portable and its pair of divergent spiritual successors the Next Generation Portable and Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play. Eurogamer had a chat with Sony Network Entertainment VP Shawn Layden, who confirmed the news, that the service would be activated (at least in the UK) on PlayStation Portable “in a matter of weeks.” Meanwhile, Android phones including the infamous PlayStation handset will get Music Unlimited “this year,” and SNE “will make it happen” on the NGP as well, presumably sometime after the company reveals when its beast of a portable game station will actually come out.
