Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought the gen2 iPod Touch had a built-in mic?

The first falme-boys out of the gate the the Apple fanboy-knuckleheads. Who cares if you need a mic!? Won't you get one anyway if you plan to VOIP over the ITouch!? Get a grip fruits.

Like every article Nick writes, he either omits information deliberately, or doesn't do enough research. Interesting find except the iPod Touchs do not come with a built in microphone, so you will have to purchase one compatible with your device first. Seems like a strange point to have forgot to mention in your article....
