Shure Music Phone Adapter

Macworld head honcho Jason Snell got his hands on a pre-release version of the Shure Music Phone Adapter (MPA) and has an enthusiastic preview over at Macworld. The MPA is basically a microphone that plugs into the iPhone to allow you to use non-Apple headphones to make calls. Most importantly it allows you to use canal-phones (like those from Shure, Etymotics, and Ultimate Ears among others) with your new favorite toy.

Having used a pair of Etymotics for the past few years I can't imagine going back to earbuds, so a device like this would be a must for me. Further, since most headphones require an adapter for use with the iPhone anyway (given the strange port design), the Music Phone Adapter looks to be a very useful accessory. It is "coming soon" for $49.95.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
