Does anyone know how this is achieved via FCE? Also, can someone point me in the direction of a site that gives step by step directions? I'm sorta new to FC, but I'm not new to creating videos. Thanks!

Really no way to whip this up in FCE. This effect is created more during the shoot than in post.
just shoot in front of a green screen, then put the footage into Motion, run the green screen filter, and reverse it. DONE.

That's a part of it, but it's far from "done." The silhouette's in the commercials aren't true silhouettes. They have color on them, sometimes for earings, bracelets, or a pattern on a shirt, as well as the color of the iPod and headphones.

well I could get into how to use shake to make it look as real as possible....but our author is using final cut express......so I don't that would be very realistic. 'm just keeping it simple....and possible.
Shoot your person in front of a green screen (you might want to check aroung the internet on tutorials in doing so. Shooting green screen isn't as simple as it sounds) and then use the blue/green screen filter (or Chroma Keyer filter, I find that one to bring a better result) to make your matte.
With you're matte you want to do two things. Place the keyed (a word referring to a green screen key) video on top of a generated color which you can find under the effects tab in Video Generators->Matte->Color. Pick the color you want.
You should now have your person (in full color) in front of a solid color background. On your clip of the person in front of the green screen, add a brightness/contrast filter. Boost the contrast to define some edges and then lower the brightness a ton. This should give you the desired effect and (hopefully) some detail inside the silhouette as well.
Tell me how it goes.
