Some Say My Touch is Tru (Truphone that is)

andy Andy Abramson from VoIP Watch had a very interesting piece today about Truphone having made the Apple iPod Touch into a WiFi phone. Yeah, that’s right and if you take a minute to read Andy’s article, I think you will agree that it is an exciting opportunity for folks that have the Apple iPod Touch on a lot of different fronts.  In part, Andy said:

Yesterday Mike Butcher, TechCrunch UK broke the news about the new Truphone application that works on the Apple iPod Touch, giving the Touch users around the world the ability to call one another. It can be found in the Apple App Store.

What I see as the big deal here is what else the geniuses at Truphone are throwing into the mix. A complete set of calling capabilities that shows just how far they have thought this opportunity through.

For starters Truphone will soon be adding PSTN In and Out Calling to the platform along with calls to Skype pals and MSN Messenger buddies. This in essence means Truphone has made the Apple iPod Touch into a full blown WiFi phone, and truly a universal calling solution.

  • Suppose you'd need a headset or equivalent audio in/out. The Wi-Fi radio would do the rest.

    Interesting. I had assumed that the iPod Touch didn't have a microphone (no other iPods do, right?). I know the iPhone has a mic, and the Touch is based on the iPhone, but I thought that would be removed as well as the phone radio.

    anyone heard of the Nokia N770, N800, or N810? iPhone-sized wifi-based devices with a web browser that makes you feel like you're using a desktop PC and a skype app built-in. N770 hit the market in 2005. it's about time apple caught up... no, wait, this isn't even apple's work....
