When the iPhone first launched last year and even on the new iPhone 3G there are several features missing that are typically found on high-end handsets like voice dial and rich messaging services that allow you to chat from your handset with common IM services.

Palringo announced its iPhone application is now available in the App Store. Palringo RMS application enables picture messaging, test messaging and will soon add instant messaging with voice to the iPhone. The service works with AOL's AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, Gadu Gadu, ICQ, Jabber and Windows Live Messenger.

Palringo CEO Kerry Ritz said: "Just as Apple has changed people's view of what it should be like to use a mobile phone, so Palringo aims to change the way people see messaging. Billions of people already use instant messaging on their home or work computers to communicate with each other. Palringo has added vocal instant messaging and picture messaging and has put IM on the iPhone--that's a great combination."
