Ipod touch users who are keen to use the software must hook up a microphone to the device in order to make and receive calls to the handheld music players. The idea is very much the same as the internet revelation known as Skype. By using the internet program Skype you can make landline and mobile phone calls from your computer for next to nothing. If one user is online at the same time as you on Skype then the phone call is absolutely free of charge and it is understood that Truphone will produce a similar set up to this one. Indeed, Winchester Electronics have been producing similar devices since Skype first launched.

The CEO of Truphone, Geraldine Wilson has said that the firm aims for global internet recognition. There is a massive gap in the market to be filled here and Truphone are not necessarily doing anything illegal, so why not? The only catch for this all to work is that you need to be in range of a wireless internet network. It will also need to have the newer mil-spec cables for microphone pick-up. The Truphone technology will hopefully be available for the Google phone early next year. The company prefer to target phones with an application feature on the phone already as this is the easiest way to download more information.

The founder of the technology, James Tagg, said that this technology will work on other phones but in a slightly different way than modern phones such as the iphone, google phone and blackberry.
