Now that the iPod Touch has a built-in mic and two cameras, it very much is a WIFI-only iPhone. With apps like FaceTime and Skype, you don’t need to buy an iPhone if you plan on making calls from home or work. This is pretty much the perfect device for non-telcom users like myself. Throughout my week, I am away from WIFI maybe two or three hours. Frankly, that’s better than the cell reception I get.

The New Ipods

Apple iPod touch 8 GB (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL

I don’t use AT&T and have absolutely no desire to switch.  Over the past few years I’ve gotten over being tied to a cell phone and it really seems like I have it for emergency calls but if I’m away from wi-fi it usually means I’m just busy and don’t really want to talk on the phone or the conversation most likely would be pointless because I’m not in front of my computer.

I’m going to be traveling out of the country for an extended period of time and really thing this will be a nice solution to being on skype while I’m away from my desk.  All my contacts numbers are either a skype in or google voice so we’re good to go.  I’ll let you know how I like it.

I’ll be away for a few months but I’ll be able to receive my phone calls from skype and google voice and have also obtained an international skype-in number that will make it easier for my new friends in the area to call me locally as well.
