Wow. pretty cool stuff...I feel more companies are going to be doing this also Hahah

This is exactly what I need! (placing order right now)

While not only limited to the iPhone, the MacBooks for some reason only have a headphone jack and a line in jack. Unfortunately, headset mics need a microphone jack or a preamp. What they do have, however, is that their headphone jack is also an optical port which can handle this new adapter plug =].

It's a lot better than fiddling with external sound cards (I have a USB and an expresscard one where both go bad once in a while...better to just use onboard).

Too bad I have a 5Hv2...the white doesn't go with the black =(.
