PRS Guitarbud connections your ax, ego in the iPhone / iPod touch

What happened to that dreamy Line 6 / Apple tie-up? Who knows right? While these two sort their future behind the scenes, Paul Reed Smith Guitars step is to take advantage of an obvious market opportunity.

The recently announced Guitarbud is an accessory that allows simplistic ax slingers to their guitar jack in a second-generation iPhone or iPod touch, all while a headphone output to the noise to make yourself into. We hear that the device works with virtually any record-supported app (even Apple’s own Voice Memo), though of course recommend you check his PRS guitar amp simulator JamApp / tuner / training tool. Best of all, it is available now for £ 29.95 (or $ 29.95 here in the States), allowing you only a few meters away from mowing your own personal security of auditory sanctuary. Too bad the reviews of early adopters are not as promising.
