There's also a little microphone that just hooks into the headphone port here:

It works on the iPod touch 2G and higher, and you could use it for a hands free speaker phone (no headphones needed).
It's also only $5, $15 off the normal price.

well that is nice, but do you hear the person you are speaking with?
(I don't own the itouch yet, planning to buy it on tuesday!)
You here the other person via the built in speaker, kind of like a speakerphone.
I, too, might be buying a 32 GB iPod touch 3G on Tuesday. I tried it out in the store today, and it is really, really fast. Easily twice as fast as the older version.
well.. interesting..
Is there any way to use any kind of bluetooth appareil for skype ? Like those used for phones when you drive ?
Can you actually use any of these? :

Are you sure? Some of the reviews say that when the devise is plugged in it disables the sound. I am looking for something exactly like this, but want to make sure I can still hear people when using skype.
Confirmed - but I think this is a relatively recent feature only on the more recent versions of the Skype app. During a call, a panel comes up allowing you to force the use of the onboard speaker (despite there being a plug in the headphone socket).
Makes a neater Skype phone, rather than using cables everywhere, but the sound comes out of the same end of the iPod (the bottom) as the mic. But it's quite usable.

Skype and Truphone have some very good apps from the ipod touch, I use them with a cheap external mic adapter of ebay.
