Didya tell Santa to slip a brand new shiny Apple iPod touch under the tree fer ya this year? Good, because now you can head over to iPod Touch Mods for a somewhat cryptic project for adding an input microphone/preamp (neatly embedded inside a dock connector) to your new fangled Web-enabled MP3 player. Once you’ve mastered that technological feat, you can try to look up the enterprising hacks of eok for adding VoIP to your iPod touch w/microphone. With a little luck, you could have your 16Gb iVoIPhone ready for Macworld Conference & Expo San Francisco 2008 and scoop Apple on its own “one more thing” announcement.—Dave Prochnow
