In a fairly comprehensive New Years blitz, Truphone has added a clutch of new features to it’s iPod app. Users of the free phone call application can now make calls and send IM over both Skype and Google Talk. MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger are limited to IM at the moment, with call functions to come in the next few weeks. Twitter is also integrated, and users can send and receive twits from within the Truphone app.
From the release:
“The introduction of Skype calling and instant messaging represents yet another breakthrough for Truphone,” said Geraldine Wilson, Truphone CEO. “What this means for Truphone’s customers is that they can now call or message all their Skype friends using their iPhone or iPod touch. This allows iPhone and iPod touch users to have a choice in how they stay in touch with friends and colleagues around the world—all within the one application.”
