Time to ditch the cell phone.
Yeah baby! It’s officical… Well it has been for a while, just took me some time to find the right information, but I wasn’t the only one that thought about Voice Over IP (that’s internet telephone for not-so-geeks) when I realized that the Nintendo DS Lite has built in speakers, built in wifi and (I never realized until I got Brain Age — that slightly dopey, but oh-so-addictive puzzle game) a built in MICROPHONE! That’s all the ingredients needed to make a phone call.
I have been reading about VoIP on the Nina (as you may recall, that’s the name I gave my DS), but I had never seen it in action. This is AMAZING! If you own a DS and the video did wet your appetite, a more in-depth instructlet can be gathered HERE.
Eat that, you iPhone toting snoots!

It would be cooler if it had its own server built in. Unless I am not understanding VOiP correctly, and there is every indication I don’t, it can be done with just a client (or somehow an app with built-in server). After all, Vonage sells a thumb drive that basically turns every PC into a VoIP phone. All that is is a piece of software….
