Actually this isn't very new, except the fact that the iPod can be used to record audio. Any earphone can be used as a mic, and when plugged into a mic port on a computer, it actually acts as a mic.
Earphones and microphones are constructed on a very similiar concept, just that earphones are optimised for hearing, and microphones are optimised for recording.
jelle exactly, we did this with our casette tape boxes in the 80's, same trick, has nothing to do with iPod's or Apple for that matter. Still funny, yes.
