TouchMods: VOIP for iPod Touch

TouchvoipFirst off, Happy New Year! Coincidentally, January 1 marks the release of the highly anticipated and highly debated SIP VoIP client for the iPod touch. Yes, the guys over at TouchMods have come through and released the hot software to make VoIP calls.

The previously thought impossible is now actually possible. With a small appplication available in Installer.app, you can make actual voice calls on your iPod. How cool is that? Read along to find out more.

Yep VOIP on your touch!This software allows you to use your iPod touch along with a WiFi connection to make actual voice calls to landline or mobile phones. When coupled with the necessary homebrew microphone that uses the iPod’s dock adapter (you can find it here), it’s possible to use your iPod touch as if it was any WiFi VoIP phone. To download the app, you first need to add the TouchMods repository to your iPod touch’s Installer.app. The necessary address is: http://touchmods.net/rep.xml

After you download, just click on the green Touchmods logo that will appear on your iPod’s springboard (homescreen). After you enter the details for your SIP VoIP account, push the “Save” button and then you should be good to go.

Below is a video showing the software in action.

This is a pretty nice New Year’s Gift from TouchMods to you all, and you can show them your appreciation on their site. TouchMods is freeware, and available through Installer.app or their website.
