A quick-thinking 12-year-old girl in Delaware prevented a kidnapper from taking her when she held up her iPod Touch - which looks exactly like the iPhone - and told the man she was calling 911.
The girl from Stanton was standing on a sidewalk outside a middle school, waiting for her ride, when the man drove up and said to her, 'Get in the van.'
The intelligent youngster then held her iPod Touch up to her ear and told the suspect she was calling for help.

To use your second- or third-generation iPod Touch as a phone, you’ll need the app plus a headset with microphone, or a microphone adapter like those sold for the iPhone.
