Sweet!!!
(5 out of 5) by C. Cunningham on Feb 19, 2009This product does what it says. It works with my Ipod Touch 1st Gen. (Midomi) and all the recording apps. Can't beat it... The only negative is its size. It could be smaller...

Talk on you ITouch
(5 out of 5) by P. Case on Jan 10, 2009 (Eugene, Oregon, USA)I was so excited to talk on skype through my ITouch!! It will be valuable to have when I am overseas. It isn't phone quality, but will work when I don't have a phone, but can find wi-fi.

Awesome product, even working with the iPod Touch!
(5 out of 5) by Chris Heinbokel on May 10, 2009 (New Jersey, USA)I originally purchased this product to use with my iPod Touch. Though the iTalk III (this recorder) wasn't advertised as being compatible with the iPod Touch, I figured it would be worth a shot, and the results were great. I downloaded Skype for my iPod Touch, plugged the microphone into the dock connector on my iPod, and everything worked perfectly.
The sound quality is excellent, and the microphone is small enough to be portable. Overall, it's a superb product, and one I use all the time.
For anyone who wants to use this product as a voice recorder with the iPod Touch 1G: Be aware that most voice recording programs will not install on the iPod Touch due to incompatibility. Skype is an exception because of its text chat capabilities. Check that the program you want to use will work before purchasing.

Good, could be slightly better
(4 out of 5) by C. Ball on Dec 28, 2008I got this item a few days ago. I use it with my iPod touch (you have to get an application from the app store that will support your ipod. I have the 1g and I use the app "Voxie" to record with this mic).
The quality is impressive for the price I paid for it. It's very lightweight but still sounds good. My only concern is that the volume is quite low when you record, which another reviewer mentioned as well. I would rather have good quality than loud volume though.

It's a really good microphone
(5 out of 5) by Long M. Nguyen on May 3, 2009 (Scappoose, OR)You may not know that your 1st generation Ipod Touch can make voice calls through Skype or other voip client by using this external mic and updating the iPod Touch firmware to 2.2. You can also use your iPod Touch as a voice recorder and not have to buy another device. I found that this mic work well for making Skype calls. You don't need any special software to make it works just plug it into the iPod touch and use whatever application for voice recording (I use Voxie) or voip client (I use Skype) it is that simple. I think this is a great buy to be able to give your 1st gen Ipod touch the extra feature of making voip calls and voice recorder.
