Editorial Reviews:

The iPod touch has always been an amazing iPod. And with its groundbreaking technologies–including a Multi-Touch screen, the accelerometer, and 3D graphics–and access to hundreds of games, iPod touch puts an amazing gaming experience in the palm of your hand. It comes in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models with new volume controls and a built-in speaker. Play hours of music. Create a Genius Playlist of songs that go great together. Watch a movie. Surf the web. View rich HTML email. Find your location and get directions with Google Maps. Browse YouTube videos. And shop the App Store for games and applications.

P.S.  Of course, for something lightweight for running or treadmill or elliptical use, consider the ipod shuffle:  see my Mother’s Day gift mom’s pink ipod shuffle , but maybe not in that pretty pink.  For ipod shuffle ideas see  Ipod Shuffle 3G.com online store .  Other ideas are the watch that President Barack Obama wears or the battery juice-up (extra gadget batteries) items.  Don’t forget Dad on Father’s Day, June 21st.  It also is the first day of summer — appropriate  for that sunshine in our lives — Dad.

Aloha, Dot

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.
