VoIP will make money, not save it

in
03 October 2007

The focus on achieving cost savings with IP telephony is utterly misguided

There are two problems with the hype around IP telephony.

First, it probably will not save users as much as they would end up spending on extra hardware to maintain call quality ­ the promise of savings is a red herring.

Touchmods hack brings VoIP to iPod Touch

in

02 January 2007

The Touchmodders are giving away the software and hope to make money on their iPod Touch microphone, without which you'll be having a very one-sided conversation.
