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.

WWIGO users can refer to wwigo forum for any common discussion/issues. Any specific queries regarding wwigo can be posted here.

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

Buzz: Motvik will go live with its first product, WWIGO (Webcam Where I Go), by end-March.
WWIGO converts a bluetooth enabled cameraphone into a webcam, thus offering users limited mobility around the PC as opposed to a fixed webcam.

The product is targeted at video-based applications such as video chat on Skype or direct uploading on YouTube.

“Instead of sitting in front of the webcam, you can walk around with the cameraphone, shoot in the next room and still stream video live onto your PC,” explains Thiyagarajan.
