Griffin's iTalk voice recorder attachment for the iPod

Another new iPod peripheral today: iPodLounge checks out the iTalk, a new voice recorder attachment for the iPod (third-generation models only — no mini, either) from Griffin which comes with a built-in speaker and a jack for connecting an external microphone. There a couple of other of similar products on the market from Belkin, but don't waste your time trying to bootleg that next Franz Ferdinand concert with any of these — Apple deliberately cripples the iPod so it can only record at 8KHz, which is fine for voice memos, but is otherwise so crappy that you won't want to listen to anything else you've recorded with it.
