This is one feature I can’t wait to add to my Touch.
What Apple has done with these true pocket computers is truly amazing!

You Mean Hackers…
provide the hardware and a few pieces of the software puzzle, and the hackers complete the picture to create a truly awesome product.

I like my Touch the way it is.

I was thinking this weekend what could possibly derail Apple’s stellar success. My guess is if iPod sales started to slow down.
But Apple are already several steps ahead of that eventuality. The iPhone as is, is very close to a perfect iPod. As cheaper, smaller and higher capacity memory develops we could easily have a 100 gig iPhone within the next few years for the same price as the iPod Touch.
This model has some much room for growth I find it hard to believe Apple will run into trouble anytime soon.
Truly amazing how the iPod is changing the whole CE ball game.
how about apple put some software of the iphone into the touch and use the stereo headphones from the iphone to speak via voip,problem soulve?yep.
If the Touch was officially sold by Apple with VoIP capabilities and supported it as a feature, I’d buy one in a heartbeat. I’ve never been too keen on hacker solutions.
