there is a scale that fits into a case that is an exact copy of an IPhone, I could see how you would get confused.

It's a common misconception that the IPhone is pressure sensitive, when in reality it works by sensing body heat. If you have one you can try poking the screen with any manner of objects including your fingernail and it wont work till it senses heat.

So I would say that the rumor you heard is not true.

Are you serious?
That much accuracy is absurd. Definitely bullshit. If it did do that it would be a heavily advertised feature.

Not only that, but to be able to simply load some software onto your ipod to turn it into a digital scale it still has to have the _hardware_ for the scales already built into it (and 1. there isn't much room for that in an ipod, and 2. it would add a lot more cost, especially at the weighing resolution you spoke of), and if the hardware DID exist why wouldn't there already be a scales program built into it by default?

Great point!
Decades ago, I used a ruler, a pencil, and a nickle, and got consistant 5g bags.
I put the ruler at the 6" mark on the pencil till it balanced, then used the nickle as the counter-weight, then stacked the buds on the other end of the ruler.
Nickels(coins) are almost always 5g.

Kaos!
