Update about phone calls apps, newly launched mobile app Thrutu aims to make it a cinch to multitask during phone calls. The free Android app, which landed on the Android Market today, extends the functionality of traditional phone calls by letting you share photos, location data and contact information.
Thrutu simplifies that process by giving you a single unified interface to share information during a phone call.
The app comes with a few caveats: It only works on phones running on GSM networks like AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s in the US, or on Sprint’s 4G WiMax network.
Verizon and Sprint’s 3G CDMA networks can’t juggle voice and data simultaneously. Eventually, Thrutu plans to add social media connectivity, games support, real-time video and the ability to let you plan events.
