I moaned about AT&T's woeful solution for connecting at Starbucks and someone fixed it and hopes to make some money out of it. I added it now while still free.

Nice little hint. One I hadn't worked out. You can turn on WiFi and turn off the phone radios. Yep it works. Would be nice if in that mode the Truphone for iPod would work! Good way to protect one's self when in foreign lands locked to At&T.

Useful perspective on Twitter via Om. That six million number is a real jump! Am sure like skype many users have multiple accounts and many are dormant. Still this is exciting progress!

I love the optimism and the promise that the iPod Touch may really bring VoIP into the house in a new and easy way. No question the solution is brilliant technically and yes there are millions of Touchs being sold. People will jailbreak their iPhones for this app. That will have more impact. One point of clarification is still required. Does the Truphone app run in the background?
