iPod touch microphone – Cool iPod touch accessory to make free VOIP calls
In the past, I have talked about essential iPod touch accessories. Now let's talk about cool iPod touch accessories.
The iPod touch is the little cousin of the iPhone but wouldn't it be neat if you could make phone calls with the iPod touch? With a little hacking and an iPod touch accessory microphone you can.
What is great about the iPod touch is the fact that there are so many ingenious developers working to make it better. They do so by writing third party applications for the iPod touch. However, in order to install these applications, you need to "jailbreak" your iPod touch. It really isn't that complicated and there are tons of information available on the net on how to do so. Therefore, I won't go into the details. By jailbreaking your iPod touch, a wealth of new applications will be available to you. One of the applications available is a SIP-VOIP application that allows you to make calls with your iPod touch.
Once you have the SIP-VOIP application installed on your iPod touch, you need to sign up for a VOIP provider. There are free VOIP providers available on the Internet as well. I recommend making multiple accounts as they have limits on how many free minutes per month you are allowed.
Once you have an account, enter the such as the username and password and other pertinent details to the SIP-VOIP application.
Finally, to the good stuff. You need an iPod touch microphone in order to talk to other people. This iPod touch accessory is attached to the connector. You listen through your headphones. To make a call, you just put the numbers in the SIP-VOIP application.
The iPod touch microphone is definitely classified as a cool iPod Touch accessory!
