Ok i have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the iPod to be able to accept proper mic inputs similar to those of MD Recorders to no avail. They have stepped into the puddle by allowing that mic thing to take voice notes, but i mean COME ON! 15g of space is SCREAMING to be used as a portable hd recorder! What do you guys think? Put in your 2 cents worth!

I completely agree - it was the first thing I asked when they came out.

I have Emailed Apple a couple of times suggesting this, but to no avail or response.

Come on Apple - sort it out!!!!

What about this thing?

I know it's only 16bit, but it's better than the built in mic version they offer.

yah its a start but im talking about more khz than 8! i also think its slack cause apple regards itself as the 'choice' of music professionals... so duh where is the support for the music ppl!
