ipod touch as a phone..
.. well i nunno how new it is, really.. but like i’m super stoked to have found this out.. apparently you can use the iphones stock headsets on a 2nd gen ipod touch with apps like fring and truphone. i’m sure there are others…but those’re the ones i’ve tested on so far.. yes, this means the mic part of the headset actually works..
…obviously it’s not a replacement, in any way, for an iphone.. since i still lack the camera portion, the gps, the bluetooth.. you know.. all those nifty things…oh and you need to be at a wireless access point, which we’re sorely lacking here..sigh. anyway, you get the idea.. here’s more words :
very minor delay on either but that’s no different than using it directly from your computer. there was one strange thing wif truphone.. it, for some reason, made my voice sound like an alien… hard to explain.. next time i’ll record it so you can hear the strangeness.. it sounded fine on the other end..just weird on my end.. there’s something disconcerting ’bout hearing yourself sound like an alien while you’re talking. ^_^
i’m sure i’ve made my point. more importantly : the wordpress app from the app store is broken. this makes me sad. i’m all about bringing my laptop places..i could’ve written this using my touch solely, but i can’t post pics.. cuz the code gets all jumbled up and it doesn’t post right. wait. i didn’t post any pics this time. well crap. haha ah well.

You should never drink that much coffee unsupervised again.
Hahaha just kidding. You still owe me 200 monopoly dollars for the truphone experiment btw.
