A freeware application for the ipod touch can turn the music player into a virtual mobile phone. ‘Truphone’ uses wireless internet technology in the ipod touch to enable the user to physically call other ipod touch owners and Google Talk’s messaging service users. The software development is a spin off from technology Truphone developed for smartphones and iphones and the developers of the radical new technology plan to have the ability to call landline phones in place as soon as possible. Could this spell disaster for the iphone? This could be the answer for a cheap iphone, buy the ipod touch and hook up this new mobile phone software. You don’t even need to integrate any third party electrical components other than a simple mic.
Ipod touch users who are keen to use the software will have to implement a microphone to the device in order to make and receive calls to the handheld music players. The concept is very similar to the internet revelation known as Skype. By using Skype you can make landline and mobile phone calls from your computer for next to no price at all. If one user is ‘online’ at the same time as you on Skype then the phone call is absolutely free of charge and it is understood that Truphone will produce a similar set up. Indeed, Winchester Electronics have been producing similar devices since Skype first launched.
The Chief Executive of Truphone, Geraldine Wilson has said that the firm aims for global internet recognition. There is a big niche in the market and Truphone are not necessarily doing anything illegal, so why not? The only catch for this all to work is that you need to be in range of a wifi network for the program to actually work. It will also need to have the newer mil-spec cables for microphone pick-up. The Truphone technology will be available for the Google phone early next year. The company prefer to target phones with an application feature on the phone already as this is the easiest way to download more information.
The founder of the technology, James Tagg, has said that this technology will work on other phones but in a slightly different way than modern phones such as the iphone, google phone and blackberry.

pubOne.info present you this new edition. On a summer day, long gone among the summer days that come but to go, a lad of twelve years was idly and recklessly swinging in the top of a tall hickory, the advance picket of a mountain forest. The tree was on the edge of a steep declivity of rocky pasture-land that fell rapidly down to the stately chestnuts, to the orchard, to the cornfields in the narrow valley, and the maples on the bank of the amber river, whose loud, unceasing murmur came to the lad on his aerial perch like the voice of some tradition of nature that he could not understand.
