Yes, this is a stethoscope that attaches to an iPod. No, it isn't for lousy doctors who want to listen to Pink Floyd while also checking on your heart. It actually records heartbeats, allowing doctors to listen later on in a quieter environment or amplify it for further analysis.

I'm sure this is a great tool and everything, but why does it need to have an iPod attachment? For the $495 price you'd think they could include a proprietary recording device. It's not like doctors want to listen to patients heartbeats while they're jogging. There's no need to clog a doc's personal iPod with a bunch of heartbeat recordings, is there? Let's think before we stick iPod docks on things that have no business connecting to iPods, OK? — Adam Frucci
