The Disruption Starts: VoIP (SIP) now supported on the Apple iPod Touch

Within a day of my 13 year old sons Dylan and Jake getting their first iPod Touch, Jake became the local Jedi master of the "Jailbreak" application. Jake has been the go-to person for his friends (and relatives) whenever any of us were looking to add features/applications to the iPod Touch.

Yesterday morning Jake gave me the heads up that it was now not only possible to add a microphone to his iPod Touch, but he could also communicate with his friends using VoIP and SIP. From this I learned he didn't see any issue that this new iPod Touch feature would only be enabled when he had access to WiFi.

I am guessing Jake saw some chatter in the forums he visits regarding the Touchmods microphone and their SIP client for the iPod Touch.

I told Jake that if there was a working SIP client for the Touch, chances were pretty good that he could use FWD as the communications Network. According to Touchmods blog, FWD is one of the networks they have tested and have had success with.

This morning my friend Elaine Lombardo sent me a link to a story in Wired's blog, VoIP for iPod Touch is here which provides more of the "how-to" details.

I look forward to seeing TouchMods provide an open API to their iTouch SIP client and enable other developers and consumers to take advantage of their communication building blocks.

I am now looking for the first generation of social media applications that are designed from the ground up to cater to the way 12-16 year olds communicate today. There is no need to replicate the ways their parents and grandparents have spoken for generations. Instead we should be looking at the ways our kids communicate today and develop and deliver products and services catering to the ways they are using our existing communication tools and channels.

I would like to believe we are moving to a era where the need for a dedicated "phone" goes away and the features/functionality of a phone just gets embedded into other more useful devices and software applications.

Welcome to the disruption of communications as we knew it.

Welcome to the age of social communications.

You can consult with a local cleaning company, for instance carpet cleaning Sydney, or make your own carpet cleaning solution. Any professional cleaner would be able to tell you which commercial cleaning product to buy and use.

Not all ugg boots sale are genuine. So, when purchasing them online, check out to see where they are actually made. Beware of the ugg boots . They are available in plenty in the market. Many online stores sell the ugg boots uk but take the same price like that of the original ones. So, it is essential for you to buy Sheepskin ugg boots from stores that are reliable and reputed so that you don’t get Ugg Boots Women rather get the genuine and Women Ugg Short Boots . If you love the brand Ugg you would definitely not mind paying more for this brand. Isn’t it?

Yes, that 12-16 is a big qualifier. Once Jake hits driving age, he'll need a device that has a Wireless WAN radio in it, along with a Wireless LAN radio! Kudos to your Jedi master.

It is great to see how kids approach devices that us geezers think we know how to use. My 8-year old son sees no need to have a camcorder, he uses the video capability of his coolpix L11 primarily, rather than the still capture feature, where I would unconsciously reach for a dedicated camcorder if I wanted video.
