Features:

Compact, durable yet lightweight, aluminum-cast enclosure integrates easily into any traditional pedalboard.
Can be used inline with other effects pedals, or directly connected to amplifiers or PA systems using regular 1/4" guitar cables, with no need for adapters.
Allows precise adjustment of the signal for perfect guitar and bass levels with its large input gain knob.
Active battery-powered output circuit improves headroom, especially when used with high-gain amplifiers in the AmpliTube app, reducing feedback and crosstalk when recording.
The bypass switch allows engaging or bypassing the AmpliTube app chain of effects – like a traditional stompbox – for seamless integration into any existing rig.
Ultra-compact form-factor can be easily carried on the road.
Features a 3.5mm/1/8" jack for silent practicing with headphones.
Includes AmpliTube FREE app and can be used with any other guitar processing app that uses the iOS mini-jack
Has an ultra-small, compact profile that can be carried anywhere with ease.
Compatible with iPhone/iPod touch/iPad.

So you put the iPhone in the pedal presumably face down, and then you can use it as a pedal in your stompbox chain? Seems cool but I imagine fiddly to adjust the iRig Software parameters....

By the looks of the output icons, there's a cable connection to the iDevice on the back; I can't believe they'd put the device INSIDE the pedal.

Hmm.. that's almost weirder. Wouldn't people be nervous of an iPhone lying on their pedalboard? I know I was when I was using iRig in that way.

Yeah, it is pretty odd that this pretty much brings such a small, pricey and somewhat fragile piece of gear to the realm of Feet And Spilled Beer.

Maybe they supply a longass cable so you can put the phone out of harm's way? Still allows it to get tripped over and fucked up though..

Looks like the phone connects via a cable on the far end of the casing to the mic/headphone jack; I doubt it's housed inside.

I have one of these. The long cable theory might be valid.

My street isn't called Pepys Road for nothing, y'know..

So, apparently it IS the interface, rather than using an iRig.
