Everyone else has already covered the Apple music event, but I thought I’d pull out a little tidbit of information that looks promising for VOIP communication. The new iPod touch looks like it’s got everything needed in order to be a fully stand-alone wifi-only VOIP phone without resorting to jailbreaking.

The cult of Mac is reporting today that the iPhone will be coming to T-Mobile. Referencing a source high up in T-Mobile’s organization, they claim an 80% chance that iPhones will be available on T-Mobile by the end of Q3 this year (late September). Deutsche Telekom, carrier of the iPhone in Germany and T-Mobile’s parent company, was [...]

Something I have suspected since the iPad 3G’s launch but have not been able to confirm has now been verified by another blog: You can activate an iPad 3G SIM card on a $15/mo plan, then put that SIM into an iPhone and run it on a data-only plan. No more $40 restrictive voice plans! [...]

Well folks, a day we have all been waiting a long time for has finally come. The new version of the iPhone SDK released today for use with the iPad has removed the longstanding restriction preventing VOIP traffic over 3G. This means you can talk over your data plan for very cheap and not use [...]

theboygeniusreport is reporting some rumours from a “trusty Apple connect” about iPhone OS version 4.0. According to the source the following features may appear in the upcoming version of the OS: There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same [...]

Company blogs are such a wonderful thing. In a recent post on the Skype blog summarizing 2009 for the application, it has been announced that a 3G-capable version of the iPhone Skype app is ready and awaiting the Apple go-ahead for deployment. No real word on when that’ll happen, but it’s nice to know Skype [...]
