DLO VoiceNote Voice Recorder reviewed by iPodlounge

While voice recording has become a standard feature on most recent digital audio players — including all full-size iPods — Apple hasn't gone out of their way to promote the function on its iPods. In fact, if you want to enable voice recording on an iPod, you have to pick up a third-party microphone; Apple doesn't include or produce an internal or external mic for the iPod. The latest aftermarket iPod mic is the VoiceNote Voice Recorder from Digital Lifestyle Outfitters. iPodlounge took a look at it, and found that found it to be on par with Belkin's Voice Recorder, but inferior to Griffin Technology's iTalk. They also found that it suffers from recording problems with fourth-generation iPods — something that affects all external mics that haven't been updated to reflect changes Apple made to those models. According to iPodlounge, recent iTalk models partially address those issues, so if you've got a late-model iPod, looks like your choice is already made.
