India’s first native iPhone music streaming application has hit the iTunes App Store via Dhingana who have earlier released a gmail app for listening Indian songs and tracks. This time Dhinagana has released the music app for iTunes App Store as Dhingana iPhone music app.

The music app has been released with two versions – iPhone Native App and if you dont like to spend money to get native app downloaded on your iPhone than iPhone Web App is there. However, iPhone Native application is for sale on 50% discount, for a limited time.

With Dhingana Music app one can search and listen to Indian/ bollywood music using iPhone on EDGE / 3G or Wifi networks. Access all the public playlists created by other users and friends. Even more you can listen to songs in the background and access other applications while you listen to songs, for this you just have to open m.dhingana.com from your iPhone’s browser.

With Dhingana on iPhone one can browse the complete music collection from Dhingana.com alphabetically also sharing of songs with your friends over the iPhone will be coming soon.

Dhingana has impressed me with its all round product development in various areas consistently where Indian web companies/ start-ups seldom goes and even if they do they are not as crispier as Dhingana’s apps are, be it UI, Usability or User interaction.

Dhingana has released apps for Gmail, Orkut and now iPhone in very short intervals noticeably Dhingana has also won the OpenSocial App Award by Google earlier this year.

Dhingana, a social networking portal around musical entertainment has added a Community IM within its portal similar to facebook, visible at bottom. This feature will allow users to chat in real time with their friends on Dhingana. Apparently, its a first Indian social platform to launch the community IM feature in first week of May in partnership with Meebo.

Apart from chatting with other users on Dhingana, the Community IM feature also allows users to chat with all their friends from a variety of other networks like Yahoo!, Gmail, AOL, Facebook, Twitter, Hotmail etc. Users can also share music albums, songs, playlists, videos with their friends with just 2 clicks using the nice built in “share” feature.

Meebo with its Community IM! Meebo is partnering with leading online communities such as Piczo, Flixter and yaari.com to deliver free, integrated, Web-based instant messaging (IM) to users. Meebo Community IM is designed to facilitate live interaction and real-time conversations between members of online communities such as social media, gaming, and blog networks.

Although when I tried it personally over Firefox/ Vista, I had problem in signing in and status shows as offline. I believe though that its quite good mixture of IM along with music, songs and playlist sharing.

Now you can add Bollywood music and play latest songs in right into your Gmail and can even listen to latest releases, see public playlist or create your own and share. You can get this all by adding an Bollywood based OpenSocial app in Gmail setting developer by Dhinagana.

One can add this application to any Gmail account and can listen to top songs from all music genres right from your Gmail account.Discover new music everyday & maintain your musical history and can also search for songs, albums, movies by year, actor, director, song name etc.

Dhingana has already made an Orkut application on same Bollywood content in an opensocial development event at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View and had even got award for same.

To add the application in any Gmail account one has to enable one of the plugin of Gmail’s recently introduced Labs feature called as – “Add any gadget by URL” plugin, after enabling this any one can get this app by adding this URL of widget app – http://www.dhingana.com/gmail, after adding this Dhingana widget can be seen in left just above invite a friend block of Gmail dashboard.

The same has also been launched as iGoogle Gadget by Dhingana, the Google personalized home page and both of these gadgets will allow users to listen to high quality Indian & Bollywood Music right from their Gmail accounts and Google home page. Users can enjoy a complete musical experience using the full fledged canvas view in both Gmail and iGoogle.
