There is also TextSecure for Android, which uses ECC and is still
getting regular updates (last commit 9 days ago). It was initially
written by Moxie Marlinspike under his company "Whisper Systems",
which was later bought out by Twitter. It was released under the GPLv3
and you can get it on github here:

  https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure

It's also available as a compiled binary on the Google Android Market
Place.
