Please do not jump to think that you can make GSM calls by installing an application. That is not possible because the communication chip itself is not present on ipod touch. This is hardware + software solution. This solution is not like many other solutions which lets you make VoIP calls using ipod touch. This is a hardware accessory which you have to attach to your ipod touch, install an application, and then use for making GSM calls. There is a catch here that the iphone should be jailbroken for installing the application which is used for texting and making voice calls. Currently it supports only 2G.
As you will be adding new hardware, be ready to have a bulky iphone ;). Do not worry much, it will not look like an outgrowth or like an extra limb. The whole hardware is nicely packaged into a single unit with an extra battery, communication chip and a sim card holder. The product is still at a prototype stage. But the cost looks very promising at $57. Best part, no carrier lock!
