Truphone, the internet telephony company, has made its VoIP software available for the iPod touch. This means touch owners can now make calls using the music and entertainment device.
The free Truphone application makes use of the iPod touch's built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Calls can be made for free to other Truphone users and users of Google Talk's messaging service. Currently, the application can't make calls to or from landlines but the developers have said that this will be in place soon.
The company also said that several other features will also be added such as sending instant messages to Skype and MSN users, calling Skype and MSN users and accessing Twitter and Facebook. Geraldine Wilson, the chief executive of Truphone's said that these features would be arriving in "weeks rather than months".
The application can be downloaded from Apple's App Store and once installed needs the addition of a microphone adaptor. This can be purchased from the Apple online store.
