Peavey Ampkit / iRig Amplitube worth it?

I've been looking for something small to play on. And seeing as right now I live in a tiny barracks space is at a premium. I just recently ran across a couple of gadgets that allow you to play, record, and use effects by plugging into an iphone or ipad. They're cheap, but you have to buy the full app to get all the potential. Has anyone here had any experience with either of these gadgets? I did a forum search and didn't turn up anything.
 
Will - LiNK will allow you to plug your guitar into your iPhone/iPod/iPad. The free version of AmpKit comes with an amp, a noise gate and an overdrive/distortion pedal. You can record, tune, and play along with backing tracks with that same version. The priced options we offer have additional amps and pedals, but nothing you absolutely need for what you're describing.
