Want to make free phone calls to your fellow iPod touch owners? Now you can, courtesy of the recently announced Truphone for iPod touch.
"Make free calls to other iPod touch owners: no SIM, no contract, no money," reads Truphone's marketing blurb.
"Described by Apple itself as the 'funnest' iPod ever, the iPod touch may now be the 'useful-est' too thanks to FREE software that effectively turns one into a mobile phone."
We like 'free'
Once the software has been installed, and with the addition of microphone adaptor (with Truphone's own mic to be made be available very soon) an iPod touch owner can make free worldwide calls to other iPod touch owners, to customers of Truphone's VoIP service and to users of Google Talk.
