Turn Your iPod Touch into an iPhone
The iPod Touch is a snazzy device, which is nearly the exact same as an iPhone - except it can't make calls.
Now, using SIP-VoIP and a Touchmod Mic, you can rectify that issue.
For under $50, you get the mic, and you can also get a mic/headset for around $60.
This makes it easy if you already have a cell phone, and/or are always around WiFi!
You may remember, Touchmod launched SIP VoIP back in January, but they've now apparently found a commercial vendor of the mic they were working on.
Nice job, guys!

Works great! But there's a few seconds delay when making calls.

Hahaha yeah, I got a little thrown off at a 12-13 year old kid doing a better tech demo video than most adults I see on YouTube.
Good going, kid. This is going to add a lot of value to the touch once its stabilized as a VoIP phone.

My question is that lets say if you make a call, on the other phone what does it say under the caller id, and do you have to pay monthly?

that is sweet but you will need to be near a router to get this to work, or just buy a cantenna =) a jumbo cantenna, naa then everyone will start attacking your network

It's nice and all but the mic is still $50.
However, without the mic you can call people but not talk, only listen.I am Olim. We are Olim. And we just did this- together!

What's the point when you can only use this with Wi-fi, it's $50 for a mic, it has lag, and it's got an ugly dongle on the bottom of it? Just get an iPhone and you won't have to deal with all this. :P
