Apple Thoughts: Campfire aka Ember Now Free

"A year or so ago the folks at Overcommitted introduced Ember, an excellent native iPhone app for Campfire. Ember let you chat, view transcripts, jump between rooms, share pictures in a Campfire chat. It was beautifully done. It caught our eye."

They liked it so much, they bought it. If you aren't familiar, Campfire is a group chat client that can be used to communicate with team members, clients, etc. And now as a bonus, they have decided to make the normally $9.99 USD app (formerly called Ember) free, renaming it appropriately enough 37Signals Campfire. You do need a Campfire account to use it, which requires a monthly plan ranging from $12.00 USD to $99.00 USD, but if this is something of interest to your group or company you can at least try it for 30 days free.
