ThumbTack is a mini microphone designed for the Nano 4G or Touch 2G. This iPod mic takes the shape of a familiar everyday object, a common thumbtack.

The reason this shape was selected was because it allows for easy insertion and removal of the microphone from the iPod.

This audio gadget is compatible with third party software. By plugging Thumbtack into the available 3.5mm headphone jack, you will be able to use it as a personal voice recorder. This can be handy if you want to record class lectures, office meetings or take a voice memo of important facts or reminders.

ThumbTack retails for $13 and is said to be “the best quality micro-microphone in its category”.
