Of course, we here at iPod Touch Hacks can’t wait for the possible dev hacks that will really open the iPad up for customizability!

But something was quitely changed by Apple today as well. . . .
Apple has removed the restrictions surrounding Voice Over Internet Protocol in the new iPhone OS SDK. This means that users may now use VoIP services over 3G networks. iCall, the first of a presumable plethora of VoIP apps to be released, is already available on the App store.

   Wait so you could use this with AT&T… can some one email me and tell me?

   Without actually having an iPad, I assume you could pay $30 to AT&T for the unlimited plan and then have VoIP. Interesting. I do want out of my $60 a month plan for 3G data on my other carrier.
