Is the iPod Touch sometimes better than the iPhone?

This may sounds strange, but I recently discovered that the iPod Touch is the better than iPhone for many users.
Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone is a wonderful device that comes with the unmatched iTunes App Store that offers many useful applications for travel, gaming, social networking and much more. However, the iPhone is expensive. In addition to the initial purchase price, it typically comes with a two-year contract and a rate plan that is not considered cheap, by any standard. In contrast, the iPod Touch is available in the same form factor, offers access to most of the same useful applications that are available with the iPhone, has the same display size and WiFi connectivity, all without an expensive, long-term service agreement.
As an added bonus, there is a hidden feature that makes the iPod Touch a better iPhone….
Every iPhone Touch, with the exception of the first generation device, comes standard with the same headset connector found on the iPhone! That is right, you can connect any iPhone compatible headset to the iPhone and the microphone works. The latest 32GB and 64GB models even come bundled with the headset.
With the earphone and microphone, you can use the FriendCaller 3 Pro application to turn your iPod into a full-featured VoIP phone. With FriendCaller 3 Pro, as long as you are on a Wi-Fi network, you can call anybody who has an Internet connection for free by sending them a patented CallMe link that can be opened instantly with any browser application, and entitles the receiver of the CallMe link an instant VoIP connection, for real-time conversation with you.
FriendCaller 3 Pro’s browser Web-phone is entirely Java based, that why it can initiate a VoIP call using in any Web browser interface. There is no software or plugins to install. Once you have added call credit to your FriendCaller account, you can even call phone numbers around the world for a few cents per minute. In fact, most countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and other European countries will cost you only 2 cents per minute.
The ability to make free calls and/or cheap international calls to virtually anywhere, makes the iPod an even better iPhone. There are no international roaming charges, and you can connect with your iPod anywhere in the world where there is a Wi-Fi hotspot, and make an immediate voice connection with friends and family members.
FriendCaller 3 Pro is available in all iTunes stores, and can be downloaded at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendcaller-3-pro/id320369555?mt=8. There is also a free version – FriendCaller 3 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendcaller-3/id325034351?mt=8, however it does not feature the convenient in-app purchasing capabilities. You might also want to check out FriendCaller Instant VoIP http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendcaller-instant-voip/id308292797?mt=8 for older OS 2 devices.

With so many social networking sites out there now, you must have developed your “community” of friends on Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn and other social networking sites, by adding friends from high school who you haven’t heard from in years, former business associates and long lost cousins…well, you get the idea.
However, as you build this list of friends, how many of these people have you actually talked to, in person, or over the phone? And, instant messaging and online chatting do not count. Have we all become so tech-savvy, that we have lost touch with old-fashioned conversational skills? Possible.
