Microphone attachment for iPod Touch goes on sale
Posted on December 6th, 2007 in hack, iPod Touch Accessories |
Looking somewhat more refined than the earlier proof-of-concept, Marian’s microphone and preamp for the iPod Touch - which plugs straight into the PMP via a hacked dock connector - is now available to buy for a mere $45 (or €30). Development on the project continues apace, with the latest focus on the communication between the Touch and the microphone widget to try to get the gain boosted automatically. With that achieved, Erica’s VNotes application (as shown complete with microphone attachment in the video after the cut) should be even more useful.
It comes as rumor spreads that the iPod Touch/iPhone v1.1.3 firmware update will include - among other things - an official Apple voice recording app.
Details on how to buy a microphone of your own are at Marian’s site, linked above.

Who cares about voice recording, I want Skype!!!
Well I have another idea/use for a microphone !
************************************************************
Why not link the microphone to some kind of voice recognition software, allowing the iPod Touch to sevre as the media center for someone with visual impairments ?
Why not? …. Why not ?
Somehow — perhaps with help from a neighbour —
*****************************************************************
talking books, podcats, et al, could be added to the Touch and enjoyed by an impaired person every day.
* No tough moves with a mouse !
* The ultimate “audio” media player !
* Updated podcasts every morning.
I admit that I am not sure from where the wi-fi would come from — then let’s add Skyp too.
Why not use the FREE (outogoing only) skypeout and the FREE (incoming only) AIM Phonline and bridge them together for 100% free calls????? Hell, I’d be happy if it just worked on AIM Phoneline.
