Use of VoIP on iPod touch

The iPod touch is an iPhone except for the lack of wireless features in every respect. But it can connect with the Internet over WiFi and in fact this is the only way an iPod touch can do. Mobile VoIP to know most people know that these WiFi is currently one of the best ways and receive calls due to the limitations of the wireless data on current mobile networks. We could reach a stage, where 4 G can address these issues, but we are not yet there. Fortunately, WiFi is pretty much ubiquitous in all Office buildings and at home so there is no reason why we iPod touch can be used as a VoIP device.

But we are with a strange design decision by Apple. There is no external microphone for touch - what means that there is to get no way when you talk into just as your voice signals for the iPod. If you buy a pair headphones Apple who built a microphone, you can however, that microphone use, send signals to the iPod touch. We do not know whether this is because Apple wanted people buy headphones, force, whether they thought that it would encourage people who purchase iPod touch instead of the iPhone or on the basis of specific design limitations. All we know, that it kind of it cripple, because people like me, not the it use for music at all. So I'm always caught without a microphone capability.

But for those who carry around a few Apple headphones with MIC, it's easy to use as a VoIP device provided that you have access to the Internet. Some readers will remember a time when even the iPhone could make Skype calls through WiFi only. This restriction has now lifted, but it remains for the iPod touch.

So to make voice calls, we need two things - a working wifi connection and a microphone/headphone set. But you can not the voice of the iPod touch for other IP communications applications. As text messaging. The other day I found locked my iPod and my wifi connection myself out of the House with nothing but coming from the inside. I could use Google voice, text, my wife and help get. It would have been better if Apple had a real microphone on it simply equipped, but oh well. One must be for what grateful, I accepted.
