  • Pinger Phone is a new application for the Apple iPhone that lets you view status updates and interact with your friends on popular social networks (Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace). You can use it to replace your Phone utility because you can also quickly access your Contacts and now have one touch buttons to interacting with them. The IM client supports Yahoo!, AIM, Windows Live, and Google Talk with a landscape keyboard for optimized text entry. A dialer is present too in case you want to call a different person.
