It’s surprising what apps can get approved by Apple and which ones cannot.  The latest app that has approval and is available now is fring.  Fring allows you to make voip calls via the internet and bypasses the minutes used by your phone.  

Fring supports the following networks:

- Fring

- Skype

- AIM

- Yahoo

- Twitter

- ICQ

- MSN

How long will this app be up, or did Apple pass it thru on purpose?  Get it while you can…

  Microsoft is really trying to get people to use their search on Live.com.  This time they have come up with a way to pay you using point that you can then later redeem for prizes.  You install a tracker on your PC and once you search you start earning points.  Microsoft has capped the search points you can earn to 25 per day.  Some of the prizes are an Xbox controller, music downloads and airline miles.  You can also search within hotmail or use msn as well to earn points. Not a bad deal just for searching using their service.
