Since using a lighter indoors is considered a fire hazard, technology has come to our rescue again, this time in the form of a lighter that can be used to show our appreciation for a rocking ballad.

According to the product description, The Virtual Zippo Lighter opens with a flick of your wrist and lights with a turn of your thumb. The windproof flame sways as you move your iPhone or iPod Touch and reacts when you blow it out. Choose from a variety of Zippo Lighter images and customize a handful selected lighters.

With over 3 million downloads,The Virtual Zippo Lighter still averages about 100,000 new downloads per week… probably to use at concerts.

This one goes out to all the rock reporters out there…

iTalk is an app that allows you to record your interviews directly on your iPhone! That’s right rock reporters, you can now always be ready to interview anyone… any time!

In the pre-iPhone days, as a reporter, you would have to make sure to pack your iPod and additional Griffin microphone (and pre-iPod days, it was the Sony MD and mic). Now thanks to the same people who brought you the microphone iPods (Griffin), all you have to remember to pack is your iPhone.

This is particularly cool for music festivals, on those days where you have to go from interview to interview.
