iPod Touch Hacked to use VoIP

The recent release of the iPod Touch saw the release not just of an mp3 video player, but so much more with the use of the Internet, connectable through Wi-Fi and the Apple Safari web browser.

The only real downside of the iPod Touch was its inability to connect to the internet via Edge/GSM and was limited to its ability to first find a nearby Wi-Fi connection but also to be able to connect to that network.

However, two people have been able to hack the iPod Touch to accommodate a mic into the mp3 player and connect to VoIP, and users have been able to communicate via SIP based VoIP calls – opening up the possibility that may mean iPod Touch users will soon be able to make Skype calls via a handheld mp3 device.
