IOS Sound Recording
An article by Todd Simpson
Here is a mic for about $99 that allows recording on an iPhone. It's from Zoom and it's a condenser mic. It's easily as good as most mics you'd find for studio use in that price range.
I give you the ZOOM IQ7. Turns your iphone into a mobile field recorder that can compete with devices costing hundreds more.
This is what is sooo cool about the iphone IMHO. It's a minicomputer that is built for Music/Video. Plenty of processing power, on board storage, good camera, etc. Buying this same mic capsule on a zoom recording would run you about $350. This add on uses the same recording technology in zooms other field recorders, but uses your phone as the brains.Since you already have the iphone, you just need the mic! The iphone/ipad is a great production platform.
Also, this mic lets you record video at the same time and use the audio from the mic. the audio/video is then synched up in real time and you have a high quality video with high quality audio that you can upload/edit/export/etc. 
While we are on the topic, I'd also suggest you look in to the TONE SHIFTER 3S device. It works as an audio interface on your iphone and on your computer. It's also a midi switcher which can switch patches on your iphone when you are using Amplitube or any other app. Turns your iphone in to a complete production platform. You can run a guitar cable from the Tone Shifter, out in to your amp, set your amp on the clean channel and then use the Amplitube app just like an AXE FX. You get no patch gaps, and it sounds great.
