			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jealous of your colleagues&#8217; <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" target="_blank">iPhone</a>? For a fraction of the cost you can have one too! (well a VoIPhone at least). By modifying a <a href="http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=7224742&amp;Redir=1&amp;description=MacAlly%20Peripherals-Microphone%20for%20iPod-MP3%20Players%20&amp;%20Accessories" target="_blank">$37 (est.) part</a> and installing some <a href="http://touchmods.blog.com/2399964/">software</a> enables you to talk on your iPod Touch! This $37 part is a microphone piece and heck your <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipod" target="_blank">iPod</a> already has speakers, so you are set.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span>The most trivial task is obtaining the <a href="http://touchmods.blog.com/2399964/" target="_blank">software</a> as it is currently in the <a href="http://touchmods.blog.com/2399964/" target="_blank">testing phase</a> and should be released in a more stable form any day. Fortunately I have a <a href="http://touchmods.net/releases/SIP-VoIP.app.zip" target="_blank">link</a> for the test version. The other trivial task is <a href="http://www.mediacollege.com/misc/solder/" target="_blank">soldering</a> might be new to you as well. If you haven&#8217;t soldered before it&#8217;s really easy. Just make sure you practice with some <a href="http://www.google.com/products?q=old+circuit+boards&amp;sourceid=mozilla2&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;um=1&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wf" target="_blank">old circuit boards</a> you may have laying around before going at it on this <a href="http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=7224742&amp;Redir=1&amp;description=MacAlly%20Peripherals-Microphone%20for%20iPod-MP3%20Players%20&amp;%20Accessories">mic</a>.</p>

<p>There is a <a href="http://touchmods.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/the-first-call/" target="_blank">video</a> out showing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_IP" target="_blank">VoIP</a> call in action. In case you don&#8217;t know VoIP, it&#8217;s a protocol that allows you to make a phone call over the Internet, which many use for cost savings. The iPod touch has <a href="http://wi-fi.org" target="_blank">Wi-Fi</a> giving it Internet access so once you have the mic and custom software installed you can start making calls.</p>
