So after all the hype of a new iTouch and we get a speaker, a bevelled back and a $70 price cut?!

Well actually that is not all, take of the hood of the new iTouch and you will see that there is more to the touch than meets the eye. You will find hardware that includes a bluetooth chip, which means with a software update it will have the potential be able to sync without being connected to your computer through the iPod cable and maybe even your phone. Although currently it is probably for the Nike iPod chip.

But here is the real juice. Microphone hardware support. What does that mean? The ability to make calls for free through VoIP. All you will need is a WiFi connection and Skype is your best friend. Free calls through Skype on your iTouch, hey I may even buy another one!

UPDATE: Now you can download FRING and have Skype on your iTouch! That means $3 a month for free calls nationwide (if you get a microphone for it}! With the new iTouch there has been proof that it can be compatible with a microphone! The following video demonstrates this. I have even heard rumors that you can buy a microphone for the iTouch now… Networks beware!
