iPod touch iPod Touch 2G thinks it's an iPhone?

[Guzzie]

Sometimes when I plug in my new iPod Touch 16 GB (Second Gen with volume controls on the side) it will show up in iTunes as an iPhone as opposed to an iPod touch. I noticed it and thought it was pretty weird, so I was curious and I successfully downloaded and installed Shazam (which is an iPhone only application). Obviously it doesn't function too well because it requires a microphone and the iPod touch lacks a built in hw mic. Anyways I haven't done anything really strange with the thing, and I wondered if this information might be of any use to anyone trying to jailbreak or otherwise modify the 2g touch.

Ask me anything.

Hmm... well I'm surprised Shazam doesn't work with the 2G iPod touch since the new the new headphones have a built in voice recorder.

And if this isn't too much of a problem then don't worry about it.
Care to post any screen shots?

You sure about the mic in the headphones? I haven't been using the stock ones.'

EDIT: Yeah the headphones with the mic are extra. The ones in the box are the standard apple ones.

Heres a vid of whats happening.

Really?!
So now they have 3 different pairs of headphones?
Stock, Mic/remote, and In Ear?
It will be 4 if they still have the old In Ear headphones.
I think that might be in the earlier shipments, because the new headphones aren't even available on online Apple site so I think they will be the new stock headphones soon.
