A friend just sent me a link to a parody video and said I was the first person to cross the mind while watching it.

Are you one of those people that have the phone handset glued to your palm? You can’t put down because you’re doing one of a couple of things, over and over and over again, even if it’s not for texting alone:

  1. Checking your email since the last time you pressed check email 1 second ago
  2. Browsing your Facebook app
  3. Trying to take photos and tweet them to the world that isn’t really listening since you have only have 12 followers
  4. Checking your email in between tasks
  5. Texting a friend 2 C wuzup?
  6. Downloading totally useless apps and playing them whenever you get a chance.
  7. Checking your email just in case you missed an email that might have just came in.

IS THIS YOU?

Here’s the funny video — check it out for yourself:

What do you think?

It’s funny alright. . .

But is it true?!

Frrrrrring Fring! Frrring FRING! Video Calls over 3G

2010 might be remembered as the race to the face.

Why?

Because, Apple first introduced Facetime video calling over WiFi for all iPhone 4 owners.

Next, it launched Facetime for Macs.

Now, we’re seeing 3rd parties come into the game like Skype with Video Calling over 3G and the iPhone.

Here’s the latest entry into the video calling over 3G game: Fring.

I have Fring on my iPhone already, and now the app’s been updated to add a 3rd way to connect: IM, Calling, and now — Video.

Fring’s advantage is like Skype in that you can call more than just other iPhone 4 users.

And you can do it over 3G as well as WiFi networks. Since Fring is also available on other platforms like Android, you’ll be able to connect with even more people video calls now.

Talk about zany promos for these 3g video calling services. Fring’s guy seems goofier than the Skype video commercial. Check it out and let me know what you think about the Fring guy here:

But don’t worry, they have a slick corporate promo video for the new video calling feature as well:

If you don’t have it yet, go grab FRING for iPhone now.  We’ll wait.

QUESTION: Have you ever made a video call to someone else on a mobile phone?
