This is just the coolest little trick I’ve seen with the iPod Touch.  I guess it’s not really a “trick” – more of a feature.  But its really a great use of the functionality of the iPod Touch.

Figured I’d put the info on the Youtube post (quoted from poster’s info):

Please Subscribe. (READ) We will be using a free app from the iTunes App Store called Fring. This allows us to make VOIP phone calls.

Here is how to do it:
1) Download Fring from the iTunes App Store.
2) Sync it to your device.
3) Go to voipstunt.com, then click on the download tab. Then click “Download voip stunt.”
4) Wait for it to download and then click on the setup voipstunt desktop icon.
5) Download the program
6) Click on the new Voip Stunt desktop icon, click new user, and fill out all of the required information.
7) Go to the fring app on your device.
Click add ons
9) Click SIP from the list
10) Now click on the Voip Stunt button
11) Enter the log on info in. (You use the same info you used when you installed Voip Stunt on your computer
12) Log in (If successful, you should have a check mark near the SIP icon.)
13)Hit dialer
14) Now enter a phone number. Be sure if you live in the US, you include 1 and then the area code before the actual #.

**This only works if you have a iPhone or 2G iPod Touch**

Also, I would recommend buying Skype Out. It allows you to use the Skype VoIP service for either 2.95/month or you can get $10 credits. (Which should be around 500 min.) The Voip Stunt is one of the several Voip providers you can use. You can make more accounts when the app starts failing.

Mophie Juice Packs!

Hey I just found some great little cases for the iphone that double as additional batteries! If that’s not a great idea, then I don’t know what is.  They’re called Mophie Juice Packs, and they add juice without adding too much bulk. Most of the extra batteries for cell phones and iPods are little boxes you have to connect to the bottom of your device, which undoes the point of having a small, sleek, cute gadget.  Who wants to to make their iPod twice the size just for a little more battery-life?

If you’re interested in seeing more or getting one, check out this site: BuyMophie.com

You’ll find cool discusions, videos, and reviews there, and you can even buy the Mophie Juice Pack there as well.

Some of my favorite things about this case, besides the small-profile, are the fact that you can still plug in your iPhone with the case on, and there’s a build in LED battery meter so can see how much juice you have left!

Until next time, happy deal-hunting!
