ThumbTacks Micro-Microphone

posted Saturday, 24 October 2009

 

 

I love my Ipod Touch.

I have hundreds of photos, thousands of songs, full length movies, tv shows and applications on it. One thing that has frustrated me is that unlike the Iphone the Touch has no camera or microphone.  I carry a camera (plus there is one in my phone) so that didn't bother me but the missing microphone annoyed me.  Many applications demand one.

I did a search of the internet and found a great microphone called ThumbTacks Micro-Microphone .   I read the reviews, ordered it and it was shipped the next day.  Three days later it arrived.  It is tiny and looks like a thumbtack.

I plugged it in and was disappointed with the sound quality with the app that came with the Itouch so I downloaded an app from Griffin called Italk Lite.  The improvement in sound quality is amazing.  You can choose good, better or best quality.  Plus you can pause and restart the recording.  You can append recordings too.  You can name and save the recording.  I downloaded an application that allows you to wirelessly transmit the recordings to your computer.

I'm impressed by the quality of the recording plus I can now use some great apps.  I downloaded an app that turns the Itouch into an electronic guitar (or banjo) tuner.

If you own an Ipod Touch I can't imagine a better way to spend $12.99
