XtremeMac has announced what looks to be a very useful accessory for the 5th generation video-capable iPod. The MicroMemo is a small device that plugs into the base of a 5G iPod and allows attachment of any 3.5 mm microphone or line for capturing 44 KHz/16 Bit - high quality recordings of teleconferences, meetings or just about anything. A removable mic with flexible neck is included. Built-in speakers allow playback to a group.This is one of the first mic recording accessories to be announced that exploits the high-fidelity capabilities if the new iPod. Previous iPods were capable of only 8 Bit recording.
Now teleconferences, meetings and continuing education, once recorded digitally, can be stored and distributed (podcasted) in a high quality format. No more cassette recorders in the conference room, please!
MicroMemo is expected to be available in the spring at a suggested retail price of $79.95.
