For many years, iPod Touch owners have felt envious and jealous of iPhone owners. Why? Well, a lot of Apps, features, etc, only work on the iPod Touch. Plus the iPhone can make calls and text.

Well no longer. With a $25 add-on, I turned my iPod Touch into an iPhone (almost). I already have a skype account, with accompanying skype number and skype plan (8.95/3mo + $30/yr). Well, iTunes App store has a free skype app download. The $25 microphone (an iVoiceIII) allows me to use the skype app, and effectively turns my iPod Touch into a phone.

And let me say, the Skype app is top notch. An excellent interface, quick load times, and not buggy, like many apps are.

So with a little tech savyness, an iPod Touch, and the Skype app, you can use your iPod Touch like an iPhone. Even better, trip out your friends when you start making calls on your iPod Touch. The iVoiceIII (from Macally) is pictured below.
