In latest iPhone news the iLyricPlayer puts lyrics right into your iPod Touch or iPhone using the TuneWiki database. The database works just like the rest of wiki. Users maintain the database and update it. Syncing information is also sent in by them

Syncing information can also be updated by iPhone/touch users by just tapping the screen when a new lyrical line is being sung. Once synchronized and uploaded it can be used by all users of the iLyricPlayer.

To use the database, no sign up is necessary. We hear this service is marred by some flaws. When the song is being sung the vocal tracks are intact so technically they aren’t made for karaoke. In addition you need to be within range of an EDGE network or an access point. Upto this point there is no local storage. In addition your ID3 tags need to be accurate for reliable service.

In other interesting iPod news, Touchmods has released the worlds first SIP- VoIP application for the iPod touch. A bespoke iPod Touch microphone is to be released priced at 22 pounds. This software is compatible with many VoIP providers and with Asterisk IP PABX. However the warranty on the device will be voided by anyone installing it.
