HMM: Apple Change Quietly Makes iPhone, iPad Into Web Phones. “Apple updated the iPhone software development kit on Wednesday to allow internet telephony apps to work on the 3G network. The little-noticed move effectively unlocks the ability for the iPhone — and the upcoming iPad — to be used as web phones.” I already use my iPod Touch that way, with the Skype app. Works fine, though of course for the Touch you have to be in wi-fi coverage. But heck, that’s about as easy as being within AT&T coverage, from what I hear . . . .

UPDATE: Reader Joel Engel asks what I use for a microphone. I use those earbud/mic combo things from Apple.
