VOIP on iPod touch
A report on the Unofficial Apple Weblog claims to have a working VOIP implementation on the iPod Touch. That's pretty awesome - being able to make phone calls from an MP3 player!

Presumably this means that a version for the iPhone isn't far away. Which could be very useful. Now I don't have too much of a problem paying what amounts to a pretty hefty sum (compared to what I was paying on my old contract at least) to AT&T every month, but these days I'm conscious of the fact that if I go over my "minutes" I could get royally screwed. This happened a few months ago - we had some pretty long calls and I was using my old cellphone simply because it had a way better headset and offered better mobility than the landline, and I'd never gone over my limit in the years that I'd had the phone. When the bill arrived it was a bit of a shocker. So the option to use something like Skype occasionally to avoid burning through my minutes would certainly be interesting. In fact I might go so far as to ditch the landline entirely; it annoys me that calls to Menlo Park cost 10c a minute, whereas calls to the UK using OneSuite.com only cost me 2c a minute.
