Fliq Application Now Available on App Store
Let me just start off by saying, no this will not take the place of a real MMS app. I think that ball is in Apple’s court. But Fliq will come in handy if you have a few friends with iPhones and are connected to the same WiFi network.
What is Fliq? Fliq was created by Mark/Space and is a “social networking application that allows iPhone and iPod touch users to instantly send, or “beam”, photos and contacts to one another”.
Now this is all fine and dandy but one thing I wish this app allowed you to do to is send data via a 3G or EDGE signal. Because lets face it, how often do you share a WiFi signal with a bunch of friends with iPhones? None the less, this app is worth trying out and for the low price of free at the App Store you really have nothing to lose. Give it a go and let us know what you think in the comments!

Take a look at Handshake – it does the same thing over edge, 3g and wifi. Works great!

Just did, again it only works with other iPhones though…

true…but I don’t remember a program on the palm that let me share with a window’s mobile. What about a program like iBeam which let’s you email the vcard or photo to ‘any device with an email’. Plus the barcode thing looks like a fun gimmick. Haven’t tried that one myself, though.

I really wish this would work with all phones and not just other iPhones. That would make it so more valuable.

Handshake is the best one right now. I was using iBeam, but Handshake tops it. Handshake is free with ads or $2.99 without ads. Otherwise both versions are the same.
