Does the iPod Touch have a microphone?

No, but you can plug a set of earphones with a mic into it and it will work.

And it doesn't have background processes, which is what you'd want for Skype itself to work as a P2P app.

But you get what I'm saying: it's just bits in packets, and we could do so much more if voice weren't special.

Nope.

Answered my own question, the iPhone headset works with the Touch and Skype - at least by this guy's account:

This is actually an interesting option. We switched our cells to paygo and use Skype with a number. We're saving over $1000 this way over the next year alone. Now we have a way to get rid of the paygo too!

But it will support Bluetooth headsets with 3.0.
