If you could use a microphone to record things, this is a great pin to pick up.  It can record things such as lectures at school or perhaps you just want to record the sound of your own voice.  This whimsical microphone makes it look as if you’ve stabbed your treasured iPod with a thumb tack.  That might explain why they decided to name these microphones Thumb Tacks.

The Thumb Tack microphone will work with both the iPod Nano 4G and the iPod Touch 2G.  Before you go using the Thumb Tack, you’ll want to update your iPod to the latest firmware though.  The plug itself is made of high quality gold-plating to create a non-corrosive plug.   The ultra small mic will work with third party applications.  Luckily, this little microphone is very cheap.  You can pick it up in either red, white or black for $12.99.  Despite the cheap price, the seller claims that you can rely on outstanding sound quality and at that price, it’s worth a shot.
