37signals Buys Campfire iPhone App Ember
37signals founder Jason Fried says that Ember’s iPhone app, which was developed by app developer Overcommitted, lets you chat, view transcripts, jump between rooms, share pictures in a Campfire chat. The app caught Fried’s eye earlier this year and the company decided to buy the developer and re-launch Ember as Campfire for the iPhone.
The app, which was priced at $9.99, is now free. 37signals also develops Basecamp, a project management and collaboration application; Highrise, a contact management platform; and Backpack, and information organization application.
