If you install the headphone jack into the mic jack then yes you will be able to use them in that way...although the sound quality will be horrible.

Well there is one way to do it.... you will need a soundcard that has "wave out" or "stereo out" or "what you hear" or something similar as a recording device. (lots of computers have them - it basically takes whatever sound your computer is outputing and treats that as a input like a microphone.)

Now, install skype or some other VoIP app on your computer, and establish a phone call between the touch and the computer. Set the computer to record the "wave out" and make sure the volume in the VoIP app is at a decent level.

Then, just plug your headset into the touch, and start talking. See, easy.

(Yes it works. Yes, I've done this before... I was bored)
