Global IP SolutionsProvider of IP multimedia processing solutions, Global IP Solutions (GIPS), announced its Android offering, allowing developers to build VoIP-enabled clients with GIPS VoiceEngine Mobile. And they already have the first customer — the folks behind the popular mobile social messaging app – Nimbuzz.

I’m not sure whether this will drive the explosion of VoIP-powered apps in the Android Market, and I’m don’t know whether that makes much sense, but having a choice is always a good thing in my eyes.

Commenting on the announcement, GIPS’ CTO Roar Hagen said: “GIPS VoiceEngine allows Android developers to build VoIP-enabled applications that offer HD voice, while tackling all the typical IP network issues – such as delay, jitter, packet loss, bandwidth constraints, noise and echo. Today, mobile users desire a smartphone that offers a unique experience, which includes the ability to have great quality communication. With GIPS engineering expertise, developers can quickly and effectively build their applications enabling them to concentrate on their core business.”
