Touchmods has released version 1.0 of SIP-VoIP for the iPod Touch, allowing users to make VoIP calls via a WiFi connection.

According to Touchmods, it is the world’s first free SIP-VoIP application for the iPod Touch.

Although the iPod Touch doesn’t have a microphone, Touchmods has released instructions for building one, which can be attached to the device’s dock connector.

For users who don’t wand to go to this length to make calls, a bespoke iPod Touch microphone will be released, priced at under £22.

Touchmods software is said to be compatible with a range of VoIP providers, and with the Asterisk open-source IP PABX, but anyone installing it will void the warranty on the device.
