Maximo iM-HS5 (also HS1, 2 and 3), and the equivalent three-button iPhone version, iP-595. The 5-series is equivalent to the iM-590, which has been reviewed by ClieOS and joker (MSRP $80). Headphone Addict has reviewed the iM-HS5 here.

Hippo Shroom-i (if they can be found anywhere).

Good list you got coming here. I'm definitely going to come back to this in the future if I get an iPhone or something.

Thank you! I added the HS5, and when someone writes about the HS1/2/3 I will add them as well.

The maximo HS3 shares internals with the iM-390, which has been reviewed by both ClieOS and myself. The HS2 similarly shares components with the iM-490 (there was a review of the 490 somewhere around here). I would also add the Meelec M11P (same sound characteristics as the regular M11), the Soundmagic MP21 (PL21 internals), and Jlabs J3m (same as J3).

Fischer Audio has the iCon at $56.79, more info to come later on as nobody stocks them at this moment, though I'm working on it.
Excellent list you're working on, a great way to contribute to the community.

Nice post!
There's also Altec Lansing UHS306, pretty crappy though.
Btw, I believe these phones, even with its 3.5mm, may not be directly compatible with most Nokia phones. UHS306 does not work with my nokia 5800. This link also says Vibe II Duo's incompatiblity with Nokia. eBay Guides - V-Moda Vibe II Duo w Microphone - Ear Buds w Attitude

Hippo iShroom (or is it Shroom-i?), same IEM as regular Shroom but has mic and button for iPhone. Shroom review by DigDub, qinjuehang, and me.

[EDIT] BTW, Shure also sell a Music Phone Adapter.

Thank you! I even forgot that I owned the M11P!

PS: It's hard to decide what thread to link an IEM to. There are so many good ones.

That's kind of the problem, nobody has reviewed it yet that I know of other than a quick line about it. I'll work on one when I get my sample.

I can't find the iShrooms anywhere on Jaben Although they sound intriguing!

I should include it, maybe in a separate section.
