While we are busy charting the next set of releases, many interesting things are happening across the world.

Facebook which has captured imagination of many across the world has now captured the attention of Indians as well. Many of my friends online or offline are now sending me facebook requests to my account which I had created many years ago and forgotten. I had been a regular orkut/linkedin user some time ago and later stopped using them but now inundated with many facebook requests ( 4-5 a week) I decided to toy around with facebook. Noticed that facebook had added video application almost a month ago and to my pleasant surprise they had a record feature which means that wwigo should work with facebook and it did In just a month the number of users of the video application is 4 million which is really staggering.

In another development Nokia purchased Twango (via labnol , more at gigaom) , I had looked at twango before but have not used it regularly but what I found interesting was the very simple webcam record widget ( if you have used the new youtube live upload widget you would agree with me). Tested it now and wwigo works well, Infact wwigo binds Nokia and twango a little more closely

The first thing that I did after we purchased our N80 for extending wwigo onto S60 3rd edition devices was to install and check out Fring on it. I had used fring before when Veer and I did test calls on it using his 6630 with a GPRS connection on the one end and gtalk on the other end which worked fine and we were able to listen to each other with very little channel disturbance. Eversince I was eagerly waiting to test it out on a Wifi connection and the experience of a fring call on a N80 phone to my friend in US on skype was just marvelous.    It has a very neat and clean UI, works on so many protocols (also supports SIP) and the perceptible audio quality was much better than a normal mobile phone call.  Ever since it has been one of my favourite Series 60 application.   I recently noticed that Fring had started an India blog  and moreover Alon of Fring thinks our application wwigo is very handy which is pretty cool

Thanks for all the users who have downloaded our software and found it quite useful. We are glad to reach close to 15000 downloads after one month of beta release. Thanks to Antony Pranata for selecting wwigo as a featured freeware of the month.

For those who want to check out the video demo of wwigo can have a look at Rajan’s interview with CNBC’s Tech2 show.

We are yet to add support for IVT Bluetooth. Stay tuned for more updates coming up.
