iOS App: Facebook Messenger and voice chattingPosted by daisyhudson on February 23rd, 2011

A new iOS app called Facebook messenger will make use of online voice chat between users of the app, free! Together with other features such as supporting the conventional chat and VoIP calls, the app also features picture messaging and being able to look into your Facebook world without actually leaving the app.

If you were to ask me, I think that the conventional facebook app along with other free apps which have calling features such as Skype and Yahoo Messenger is enough to be able to stay connected. As I’m sure most of us don’t really wanna “voice chat” with all our Facebook friends.

Chillingo, an acclaimed iphone game developer is said to be turning the PC game Painkiller to iOS. This classic first person shooter which resembles many aspects of its gameplay to other PC games like doom and quake, will come to iOS featuring 24 levels of slaughtering. The game is expected to apply the use of a virtual analog stick that will be used to move your character around.

This would be a great addition for iPhone users, details on it having a retina display is still in question but for those of you who know the game, I am sure that that would be the last of your concerns.
