Those loving good iPod Touch vibrations...

Just discovered this. The great FaceTime function -- for those with an iPod Touch or iPhone -- may be used for video calls with the hearing impaired. You can see not only the faces, of course, but sign language. The new iPod Touch now offers vibration alerts.

As it supports F aceTime video calling which Apple bills as ideal for sign language, the vibration alert could be very useful in alerting the hard-of-hearing that they have a call coming in. On one of the feature pages for the iPod Touch Apple talks about this and says, “If somebody wants to start a video call with you, you ‘ll receive an invitation — along with a vibrating alert —on your iPod touch asking you to join.”
