[DM-MUG] MiFi & iTouch

[Matt Stanton]

Nice.  I guess the earphone upgrade with mic you're talking about is a 
bluetooth deal, or do they have a special 1/8th" jack that has an extra 
conductor that is still compatible with a standard stereo headphone 
jack?  As far as the speaker is concerned, yeah, mine has the ability to 
make that little clicky noise, but I've never seen any option to play 
music or video sound out loud...  Maybe I just need to look through the 
options again.  My ipod touch is getting pretty old, and the battery no 
longer holds a charge for more than a few minutes.  I use it mainly in 
my car, hooked up to a cd player with a line in jack.  If I was rolling 
in money, I'd definitely get a new one.
