iPod touch Voice Memo

[amiganut]

Will anyone use Voice Memo on the Touch with 3.1? Unless you already have your headset with mic plugged in, recording a Memo would require getting them or a mic out to use. Too time consuming to be useful. Now, a built in mic would make Voice Memo useful. When I buy the Touch, I know, iPod Touch, I plan on using a Bluetooth headset. I know. I'm lazy. Hey! I'm 71. Age should have some privileges.

Thanks for reading my opinion.

I might use it.
And is 2 extra seconds really time consuming? For example, if I have my headphones in the same pocket as my iPod Touch, it's not really much work to reach back in there and take my headphones out, now is it?

I use a small lozenge-shaped mic that can easily be plugged in or removed from the headphone jack. I do a lot of voice recordings, but it's no trouble at all.

I've also got the iPod touch covered with a Simplicity skin, to which I attached the strap. This particular mic has a loophole through which I could thread the strap, and keep it attached to the skin. Now whenever I want to use it, I just unscrew the mic from the lozenge-shaped case, and plug it in, like you can see above.

Looks a wee bit tacky, but it works great - and I never have to worry about losing the mic 😱

Oh, BTW, I tried a Bluetooth headset with the iPod touch (a Motorola). Tried and tried to get it to connect, but it wouldn't. So that's why I went with an actual mic.
