Have you got it? What do you use it for (e.g. for free calls to Skype users, calling mobile phones, international calls or all the time)?
I installed it on my iTouch yesterday, prior to which I had been testing out the availability of Skype-working WiFi hotspots around town, sans microphone and Skype credit. Loads of places appeared to work. So after researching the cheapest microphone* I could find on Amazon, I bought the expensive one from the aPple sTore anyway; this was at least twice the cost of an identical looking one on Amazon. I was hoping it would be functional as a microphone on my PC too, but alas restrictions listed on the bOx appear to be accurate. I'd been tempted by an even cheaper microphone about the size of a fingernail that had no wires which would allow the iTouch to be used like a regular phone using the external speaker, but decided against it on the weak basis that if this kind of mic and mode of communication were any good with the iTouch, it would be more popular. It would have saved carrying constantly tangled headphones around. Anyway, Skype seems to work with a clarity of call surpassing my (old) landline phone. Now all I have to do is remember to use Skype every month or so or lose my £10 credit.
*Jeez, microphones have become small and powerful. Not much bigger than a pinhead by the look of it. Shame they don't work on Apple products and PCs.
