i guess that's the point

this is from PIng! FAQ


so excluding the similarity with BBM, u r actually still using the cellular network for the Push
which utilize ur data usage...unless u r on unlimited plan, heavy user can finish off their quota very fast...thats wat stated by WhatsApp as well, reminding u best to have unlimited plan

if u hav a lot folks who on iPhone and installed Ping!/WhatsApp, that sounds fine, not if u r not, and in that case...using IM+ makes no diff, since ur ultimate purpose is to stay connected with ur pals

and indeed, agree to the point...y use so many p2p msg app if they are not inter-connect? stick to the one with the most folks

Ping! is very different from IM (in my case, beejive)

for instance, if i want to convey something to tinkerbel (but i'm not keen to text her for example monetary issue) but as usual, she is not logged on to her msn, i can still Ping! her.

@diinozilla I agree with tinkerbel on sticking with single apps, my point being, please don't put words in other ppl mouth by saying 'we' without having tested it urself! not everyone are having problem with WiFi/3G data plan/pricing

And ur post sounds very intimidating to the person who ask about Whatapp. He is just asking the opinion of ppl who have actually use it. and u just copy and paste information from AppStore. Peace!

BTW I still use beejive for normal IM connectivity

yup!

i just take two australian networks as an example; optus and virgin mobile (technically operated by optus)

virgin mobile plans typically offer more data bundle, but less calling/texting credit, but the vice versa for optus.

hence if i'm on virgin mobile, surely i will be more inclined to use Ping! as a form of messaging than using the text message?

hi, I'm new to iphone. what software can be used to open and edit microsoft docs and excel, powerpoint files on iphone?

You can try documents to go! It's available on iTunes..

@mr.ngiau,
There quite a few applications of such nature; mostly paid apps. Just do a quick browse and you'll find a few:-

1) Quickoffice Mobile
2) Documents To Go

@dinozilla,
A Ping! message isn't *that* big lah; no need to be so kiasu; it's not like ur writing a storybook or something. If you have a data plan, it should be fine; if u don't have then well, it does get v expensive paying; having said that, IM+ or BeeJiveIM also utilises your data services.

Also, there's less spamming on Ping! unlike on IMs

i guess tat really up to ur group of pal...whether they own the same device...to access the same thing...
else...its worthless to own an app if u got no one to comm with...

so....its an app to go if u hav a lot of pal with ipod touch or iphone...

but no...if most of ur fren is not iphone/itouch user...

tat make sense?

@dinozilla,
Yes but isn't that what we said from the v beginning?!

or you can try to Ping! random people and see if they yield
any returns?

who knows you might find a true love via
Ping!

reminds me of the times in malaysia, where random people
text me to "make friends" (because my number has a good combination)

like ICQ time????!!!

no way....old enof to skip those liao...

wont consider Ping! or WhatsApp until frens around has more using iphone...

I bought a math magic. well, its for a student actually but i think the way they solve the math is really awesome. darn, why i didn't discover it when i was 15..I also bought Fax apps where I can fax any document. But too bad, there's a fax pro and free fax. I thought fax pro is the best apps for fax but i didn't realize there's a free fax where you can fax to anywhere for free. For fax pro, you have to pay USD2.99 per paper.. Darn, wasting my USD4.99 for fax pro..

I mentioned this app in the Ping thread and did not realise this is discussed.

I tried Whatsapp this morning with a friend and I am impressed. Not sure why they say it is not available in Malaysia. I emailed them for clarification as in my limited experience, it worked quite well.

Yes. My friend is in KK and I am in KL. Works quite good.

Hi mate, are ur friend in Msia too? That sounds good, as I'm finding alternative to replace Ping! cause mine will crashed once awhile.. Quite annoying!

Is there a software to broadcast our ipod music to fm radio in my car such as the one featured in the movie "I Love You Beth Cooper" where we just tune in to a channel for example 89.7

QuickOffice is the way to go ( at least for me;)

Added on October 27, 2009, 11:52 amYou still need a hardware to broadcast it over radio frequency. However, if you have AUXon you radio, just plug in and there you have it. Hope this help

Added on October 27, 2009, 11:56 amCouldn't agree more regarding the spams. Just use it for few days...and I would say.... it's cool just for SMS (free) chat (ok.... you hv to pay for the data though )

Guys,
Have been using it for awhile and as old rusty guitar player, this app really helps tuning my old-rusty guitar "kapok". Get it at iTuneslahhh....

p/s: Can the moderator move it to iTunes Recommended Apps Forum. Thanks
