TuneTalk for iPod

So would you be able to pull the audio OFF of the ipod or just record and listen on the pod?

This reminds me of one of my accessory ideas for the iPod, the iBrator (say it out loud, you'll get it). It would spilt the audio signal into another headphone jack so you could still listen to the tunes, but also send the signal through a vibrating aparatus (sp?). Just think of it as one more level for our girlfriends to enjoy John Mayer...or System of a Down...depending on what kinda gal she is...or he, I suppose.

It does look a bit weird, but there might be a practical reason for having the microphone a bit farther away from the recording device; noise. I have a Sharp Minidisc recorder with a mic that plugs in and sits very close to the minidisc recorder. After a few minutes of recording, the mindisc needs to write it's cache to the disc, so the disc spins up, and of course, the disc noise gets picked up by the microphone. The iPod is not as noisy as a minidisc recorder, but the hard drive does make some 'clunking' noises which would probably get picked up by a mic that is located right against the ipod.
