So while FaceTime remains easier and slicker if you&rsquo;re both on iPhone 4 on Wi-Fi, if you want to get some cross-platform chat on, this is your go-to option."</em></p><p><object width="600" height="360" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZsSqtUDbCM&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;ap=&fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZsSqtUDbCM&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;ap=&fmt=18" /></object></p><p>This is a pretty cool way to chat with your friends who are Android fans if you're carrying around an iPhone 4. &nbsp;I don't have an iPhone 4 or an HTC Evo to test this with, but I'm hoping we see more of this kind of thing in the future. &nbsp;I'm on a Nexus One, and I'm ready to move to a phone with a front facing camera. &nbsp;It'll be nice when there are more options for using those front facing cameras. &nbsp;This works with Fring on the iPhone 4, Android phones and Symbian phones. &nbsp;The EVO used was on 4g, and the iPhone on WiFi. &nbsp;I'm not sure if you can use the Fring app over 3g on the iPhone. &nbsp;Has anyone tried this? &nbsp;If so, what was your experience like? &nbsp;</p>
