Truphone Turns iPod touch Into a Phone

Truephone has launched a new VoIP application that can turn an iPod touch into a phone.

Truphone for the iPod touch is specifically designed for your iPod with a ground breaking new interface which takes you straight to your favorite Tru Friends and allows you to make a call with just one touch!

Once installed, and with the addition of a microphone adaptor, iPod touch owners can make free calls—no matter where they are in the world—to other iPod touch owners, to customers of Truphone’s Internet telephony service and to users of Google Talk instant messaging service.

Truphone for iPod Touch has the following features coming soon:

Calling to landlines (PSTN) at low cost (simply set yourself up with a Truphone account);
Instant messaging to Skype and MSN (free);
Calling to Skype users (free);
Calling to MSN users (free);
Check and set facilities for Twitter (free);
Check and set facilities for Facebook (free).
Truphone for iPod touch is easily downloaded from Apple’s App Store in exactly the same way as any other iPod touch application.

The software uses the iPod touch’s Wi-Fi connection to carry calls over the Internet to its destination. There is no monthly line rental, no subscription or other hidden charges.
