iPod Touch= actual cell carrier killer

Category: Uncategorized

If the new iPod Touch runs the same OS as the iPhone, and it has a Wi-Fi antenna, that means you can install Skype, and make phone calls for free.  This is just like having a totally unlocked iPhone, with no monthly fee.  Take this a step further: Google buys the open TV spectrum, which will allow nationwide internet connectivity with the same coverage as analog TV. (read: more places than the cell carriers)

Mark my words: Apple will build an iPod Touch with an antenna for this TV spectrum, and allow Skype calls over it.  This will instantly destroy the existing carrier cell networks.  DESTROY.  This is disruptive like I cannot describe.

You heard it here first!
