Some limitations and quirks ...
(3 out of 5) by David T. Wojtowicz on Jun 30, 2009I thought this would be a nifty device to not only use for recording but also perhaps as a microphone for live chat on Skype using my iPod Touch g2. Unfortunately (unless I am doing something incorrectly with the plug in of this device), since it is plugged into the ONLY mini jack on the iPod it seems to record but while the device remains plugged in it cancels the sound, so you cannot hear what you just recorded unless you remove the device first. And so maybe a Skype conversation would be one way unless you removed the device between sentences "walky-talky" style. "Over...." Not an option. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
As far as the footprint of the mic, I take ALOT of vitimin supplements. I'm a bit scared this will go down the hatch some morning when I'm not paying attention!

Surprise, Surprise
(1 out of 5) by Moses Girl on Sep 12, 2009updated review October 2009: I changed my stars from 5 to 1. The mic is not working anymore. I don't understand why. I take good care of my ipod and the mic and both experience regular wear and tear. It occupies memory space in my iPod but, there is no audio. Warning: Buy item at your own risk. You get what you pay for!
In Sept 2009 I said"It's cute. It's functional. I use it to record lectures with my ipod classic. It works great. I plug in my ipod to charge and the lectures go straight into my voice memos folder in iTunes. The downside is, the battery usage. Once I 'turn on' the voice recorder mode in my ipod, it totally drains the battery much faster than when I use my iPod to play regular songs. There's a little lag and also some freezing that happens on occasion, but not enough to bother me, since I paid less than five bucks for the gadget."

Great little tool
(5 out of 5) by Keith Schroeder on Sep 22, 2009 (N.E. Wisconsin)This is a great resource for your ipod touch. The quality was very good. They are small and very easy to use.

other options for voip calls
(3 out of 5) by M. Sarli on Sep 30, 2009If you're looking for a microphone to use with your iPod to make Skype or other voip calls, any headset that includes a mic will works also. I use Brand New OEM (Original) 3.5mm STEREO Hands-free Headset for RIM Blackberry 9530 STORM (by Verizon Wireless ) , but any 3.5 mm headset with mic (including the iPhone headsets) will work. (Be sure to get a 3.5 mm headset for the iPod Touch 2G/3G - some phone headsets are 2.5). Plug in and call.
