The launch of the Group Video Calling feature comes at a time when FriendCaller is experiencing rapid growth. “Since first introducing free two-way video calling in August 2011, FriendCaller has continued to experience explosive growth not only in the number of users, but also in the consistent usage of our apps for both voice and video calls,” said Martin Feuerhahn, CEO of FriendCaller developer C2Call GmbH. “In the last 30 days alone, we have added more than one million users organically, and we are not spending but making money on advertisements, which allows us to continue to offer our video chat services for free.”

In commenting on the technology used for new feature, Michael Knecht, CTO of C2Call GmbH, said, “We leveraged our patent-pending technology to add the multi-point video calling feature to our apps. Our innovative and complex algorithms require extremely low resources on both the mobile client and cloud server side. For now, we are starting by supporting up to four video participants, and up to six audio participants. Later this month, we will be demonstrating even more advanced capabilities at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, including support for up to seven video participants, and up to 20 voice participants.”

FriendCaller leverages C2Call’s unique cross-platform, cloud-hosted technology to provide users a number of innovative features that in addition to Group Video Calling include Text Messaging (SMS), Browser-based WebPhone, Caller-ID, unique CallMe-Links, video calling and a real phone number. The updated FriendCaller apps with the multi-point video conferencing feature are available starting today on the iTunes App Store, Android Market and the FriendCaller.com website.

Currently sizzling topic with respect to Android on the Internet is the Android’s version, Ice Cream Sandwich. Research states 56% of the total Smartphone sold worldwide by Q3-2011 were powered by Android, taking the marketplace in a swift. Everyone is talking about Android, why not we? With Android’s progressive development in the market, FriendCaller is not lagging behind and meeting up to the level of standards for a better FriendCaller’s Android VoIP application. We are proud to announce that we support over 594 Android devices to run FriendCaller.

After Android’s tablet great success, the on-stage premier of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is up for its promotion, with its sweep-off-the-ground features. As our soon-to-be-launched Video Calling feature for Android is only applicable for Android’s versions above 2.2, this new Android 4.0 version with its outstanding features will make our Video Calling app for Android even better than the previous versions of Android, because 4.0 requires a high-end GPU. Lucky for us!

While watching a video on older Android versions, the buttons on the screens doesn’t give a pleasing look, right? With the smart Landscape control of Ice Cream Sandwich, they neatly vanish when the screen is in the widescreen mode. Similarly, during Video Call, switching from portrait to landscape mode will be seeminglessly better.

Moreover, its improved Talk-to-Text feature, declares pronounced voice clarity which will support our app even more, paving its way to the heights of perfection.

Needless to say, watch out for our forthcoming Video Calling app. If you haven’t downloaded FriendCaller app on your Android yet, brace yourself for an exulting ride, because FriendCaller together with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be a treat for sure!
