I don’t get this. If you want a mobile phone, wouldn’t you buy a mobile phone? Would you buy an mp3 player that could be “transformed” into a mobile phone?

Apple may have a new mobile phone to compete with–one that runs on its iPod Touch.

Truphone’s app turns the iPod Touch into a mobile phone.

The MP3 player can be transformed into a mobile phone with the help of a free app from Internet telephone company Truphone. The new app allows users with a Wi-Fi connection to make and receive phone calls via voice over IP with other iPod Touch owners, users of the Google Talk’s messaging service, and customers of Truphone’s Internet telephone service. The company said it expects to add the ability to handle landline calls.

Would you buy a washing machine that could be transformed into a microwave?
