Macally IVOICEPRO Voice and Audio Recorder for iPod (Silver) Review

I purchased this item primarily to use with a 1st Gen iPod Touch & Skype. I am happy to report that it works perfectly in this application. I simply updated my Touch to at V2.2 software from iTunes, and the micropone works exactly as advertised. It even has a small speaker built in, so you don't have to plug in earbuds - the sound is a bit tinny, but perfectly intelligble.

I have also used it with a couple of other applications using a microphone (e.g., voice recorder), and it works perfectly there also. The only problem I've run into is that some of the applications on the App Store are too smart for their own good, and won't let you install on the 1st Gen Touch because they don't think it can have a microphone. Hopefully, if enough of us send them e-mail, they'll stop trying to be so smart.

It also includes USB cable that plugs into the mike so you can charge while you use it, and, you can plug in an external microphone if you wish. MaCally has done a superb job on this - I can't think of anything I would change in the design.

I highly recommend this product - it completely solves the no microphone problem for 1st Gen iPod Touch users.
