Truphone have updated their Android VoIP app to support the Google Nexus One. The software – Truphone v3.0.2 – now supports the Nexus One, T-Mobile Pulse, HTC G1, Hero and Magic, and offers free WiFi VoIP calls between Truphone users as well as to Google Talk and Skype accounts.
There’s also an IM client baked into Truphone, which supports Skype, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and AIM accounts, and as with other VoIP systems we’ve seen they’ll happily take your cash in return for lower cost international calls. WiFi VoIP is a relatively new addition to Truphone; when the app first arrived for Android it routed calls over a regular call.
Unfortunately this latest version has some issues too, though only if you’re a Google Voice user. Gear Diary report that, while they had Truphone installed, Google Voice regularly crashed and their Nexus One ran slower than usual and suffered periodic lock-ups; the issue was fixed when Truphone was removed.
