Wireless turns iPod into a phone
The software is a spin-off from technology Truphone developed for smartphones and iPhones. The developers plan to have the ability to make calls to and from landlines in place very soon.
Geraldine Wilson – Truphone’s CEO – said the firm had ambitions to become a global internet player. “There are a slew of new features we’re rolling out for the iPod Touch that will let users call landlines, Skype users or send instant messages. We’re talking weeks, not months, before these go live.” Although Truphone technology can, in theory, work on any mobile device, the firm is concentrating on devices that have an application store.

The company said Google’s Android operating system would be the next platform for which it will develop the Truphone applications.
From the Truphone site:
Wi-Fi calls to other connected Truphone users are completely free of charge. From wherever, to wherever.
