ITYS - The Apple iPod VOIP Phone
Friday, February 6th, 2009It isn’t every day that I get to do the “I Told You So” (ITYS) dance twice. Remember some months ago when I ranted about the release of the Apple iPhone and iPod touch API being a clear and present danger to major wireless carriers? Remember? Remember when I pointed to the first VOIP application for the iPhone? Well, here’s another. JAHJAH announced that now with microphone support for the iPod Touch you can essentially turn your iPod into a wi-fi hotspot “cell” phone. Yep. All you need is a hotspot and your iPod Touch is now a phone. And, unlike the iPhone, you don’t need to engage in any long term contract with AT&T Wireless. All the benefits of the iPhone without the wireless contract.
Now, to make this really work we just need everyone to open up their wi-fi routers across the country. Ready? You go first….
