I have always found the little button and microphone included on my iPhone headphones a really useful and thoughtful feature. I’ve always known that while listening to music the button could be used for pausing and playing the music, and pressing the button with a call coming in would answer the phone. However, while using my iPhone’s iPod feature more than ever while on “vacation” in Israel this week, I discovered even more use from the little button.

While listening to music, pressing the little headphone button two times in rapid succession skips to the next track!
I admit that this tip is very basic and many of you probably know about it already, but it definitely boosted my “iPod productivity” significantly ever since I started using it.
I think that this feature should work on all recent iPods, but I don’t believe any other ones come with the same button or even a similar one. (Please correct me if I’m wrong about that.)
