It is a bit like that one, if you tweak the colors maybe and maybe add another effect or two, but the way I did it was just a couple of steps. And with darker more contrasting colors and maybe another filter stacked on it may come out pretty close. And with the pattern on top it might come out just right.
The hexagonal overlay was made and just placed over top of it I think. So if you can manage to make something like that or find an image like it, you can just overlay it on top of a brushed metal you make.
I'm not sure if that effect is even the right one for my kind of app. Any other suggestions? Sorry to keep this thread going on so long, but I'm really dissatisfied with my icon, and I need to come up with a good idea.
I think it looks quite nice on my iPod touch screen:

I'm not sure why it looks a bit purplish on the bottom. That's not the icon design, it must've been the screenshot.
I like this one:

If you must include an inner shadow, make it orange - 200 130 0 maybe - and with more inset / blur. Black doesn't look good.
Like this?

I think black looks better.
