A few weeks back Apple released it latest version of it’s small portable music player.  This new version doesn’t even have buttons on the device but instead it incorporates controls on the headset sorta like how the iPhone has a mic and button to hang up calls or skip or stop songs.
The negative part about this new setup is the inability to use 3rd party headsets that people might already have.
I’m sure 3rd party companies will offer better aftermarket headsets with controls and better sound quality but I really think that will be a turn off for some buyers.
The new player is extremely small and incorporates a built in clip that makes it easy to attach to the listener.  It also boasts a 10 hour playback time when fully charged.
But the most amazing thing about this player is VoiceOver, the ability to speak track and artists names and also playlist names since the device has no readable LCD display.

I just picked up this Griffin device for using the iPhone with regular headphones since the headphone jack on the iPhone is recessed slightly.  It also comes with a dual output splitter with independant volume controls so you can share the audio with a friend.
Both adapters can fit into the iPhone fine, so you get two devices for the price of one basically.
I tested it with my Sennheiser HD-280 headphones and the iPhone sounds amazing.
I picked mine up from the Griffin online store for $14.99 with free shipping.  They also carry these in the Apple store I think.

My Blue USB Snowball Microphone with Ringer Shock Mount. Sounds a lot better than my Mac’s built in microphone and also allows the left speaker to still be enabled while microphone is being used. The MacBook Pro’s left speaker turns off when using the built in microphone because it is situated very close to the left speaker and normally would just feedback.
It’s huge but, I don’t plan on taking it anywhere with me.
