It is a cool development (especially for me as an application developer). However, it does have issues...

Basically it's a simple breakout/splitter cable. There's no impedance matching and the quality of cable used means that you get inductive cross-talk at high volumes. I've given the cable a thorough review and addressed its shortcomings on my blog (http://riotmode.blogspot.com/2010/03/guitarbud-review.html) if you are interested...

Having said all that, the iPhone and iPod Touch are powerful devices and can do plenty of DSP in real-time so expect to see more apps coming to the market to make use of this.

Oh, and check out my multi-fx app, RiotFX (http://www.riotmode.com), if you buy the cable :-)
