iPhone gets popular BlackBerry feature. Which one?

One of the trendiest ways Blackberry users communicate is via “pinging” — fast, cheap and reliable real-time conversations via Blackberry Messenger. Now you can “ping” on your iPhone, for free.


Ping!A new yet little-known downloadable app for the iPhone called Ping! is a clever iPhone-to-iPhone (or iPod touch) messaging service that lets users chat anywhere in the world instantly.

The interface resembles a typical SMS window but Ping! does not incur additional carrier charges.

In other words, Ping! is very similar to “pinging” or “BBMing” on a Blackberry smartphone.

And for a limited time, it’s free.

All you need to get going is your friend’s Ping! ID. Once you get a friend to give you their info, you can also link them to your iPhone or iPod touch’s address book so you can see their real name and photo when corresponding.

Give it a try here or if you’re got iTunes installed, click here.
