May 20, 2009 at 8:14 pmIf these only had a pass through they would be perfect!
However I have been looking for something like this forever.

May 20, 2009 at 8:22 pmiPod tough? When did they start making those?
Touch*, I’ll assume.
If so, I might pick one up. Sound like a fun experiment. I wonder if they would work with Shazam (app). Any experiences out there?
Now if only they had a small camera that would plug into the iPod touch so I could use What the Font mobile like the iphone users…

May 22, 2009 at 5:40 pmIs it just me, or does the concept of a mini microphone seem a little bit redundant? Cool product none the less.

May 25, 2009 at 10:47 pmI can’t tell you how happy I was to see this listed on the updates for the week. The product is super cool, but what really made my day was the fact I found these last week. I feel like I scooped the newspaper, even if my readership is only currently limited to myself. :)
I’ll be interested to see this popping up in the news under “Office Espionage” in the months ahead.
