VoIP on the iPod Touch. . .

November 22, 07 by Doug

. . .is now just one step away. There have been reports of audio-in working on the iPod Touch. . .which of course takes us 1 step closer to achieving VoIP!

Here is what mrnpod says…

Hello.
I am happy to inform you, that the Audio Input pins of the iPod Touch are active,
and can be used for connecting any Audio source (like an external Mic, your CD-player, FM radio, etc) for recording. This also opens the doors for VoIP
applications!!

The way I tested it: Modded an old docking cable and connected the Line-In
pins to a source of Audio signal. Then used the Voice recorder App originally
written for the iPhone. The dock pinouts are here: http://ipodlinux.org/Dock_Connector
I have photos of the setup if anybody is interested.
Cheers!

This is the reason why I decided to not buy an iPhone. I knew it was inevitable that this would happen.
