Mac, Tips and Tricks

Just found out that you can now make calls with your iPod Touch by using VOiP software like Skype and JaJah. You need a 2nd generation iPod Touch to do it.

Here is a quick breakdown how to do it:

First of all, you need a 2nd generation iPod Touch. To find out which version you have, go here:

If you do have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, get an earbud and mic at Target for $10 like this one:

Or you can get one from Apple like this one:

Then, you can either download Skype (www.skype.com), or go to www.jajah.com, and start making calls like you would if you were on your computer.

Here’s an article that discusses it somewhat:
