iPod touch gets microphone for VoIP via modded dongle

Now that the startling mystery of VoIP has been cracked wide open on the iPod touch, it was only a matter of time before other, related mysteries were broken apart and inspected. One such case involves the process of getting the sound of your voice into the formerly-audio-out-only device, which must be accomplished via the use of some type of audio-in microphone dongle, which now -- thanks to one clever man -- has been hacked for VoIP-on-touch purposes. Using the hideous, yet cheap, Macally iVoiceIII audio recorder add-on for 5G iPods, and the simple soldering of a jumper to the board, you can be chatting away like a madman (provided you've got some WiFi) on your touch.

OK, Whoooo, this is awsome, especially because it just gave phone capabilities to an ipod, but heres my beef, and the only reason im not jumping up to buy this thing:

a) when im using the internet, on my ipod touch, im usually home
b) i already have a cell phone, thats why i DIDNT buy the iPhone, and many other reasons.
c) i have never ever had any luck what so ever with voip or anything like it.

Im not bashing these coders as they have done an AMAZING job, but its just my opinion, i respect these peoples ablities, and im sure there is some one that could use this.

Lol, read the iPod's screen, "This accessory is not supported by iPod."

Question is, does it actually work?

[phool]

Need to physically plug in my VOIP phone into the internet, but I only have wireless internet, what can I do? I live in a building where my super gives me access to wireless internet for free. Is there a router or any other device that can receive the signal, and also has a jack so I can plug in my VoIP phone. Is there any WIFI Voip phones?
