Searching Compatible Mics for the Touch


After reading the post of RxE we decided to investigate the compatibility of some commercially available microphones, originally designed for the previous iPod models. To name a few:

- Xtreme Mac Micro
- Griffin iTalk
- Belkin TuneTalk

You can read about them here
http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2007/05/18/ipod-mic-shootout.html

What we would be interested in, is to have a feedback from you, owning a Touch with VNotes or Nikotalkie installed, and one of those or similar commercial microphones.
- How sensitive is the microphone?
- can you control anything by using the Mic's hardware button?
- do you get any messege on the ipod screen when connecting the microphone?

Acc to Erica's blog at Tuaw, who did test one of those mics, the answers to these questions are mostly negative.
Let's see. Pls give us feedback, report your experiences!!

UPDATE: 8:51 CET

Up to now we know only one mic that works with the Touch using Nikotalkie and Vnotes.



.. and I agree: "simple is beatiful!"




Thanks for being with us ;) .. and now ...


Thanks!
Marian

1 - Sadly, the Xtreme Mac Micro does not work on the Touch. I get an error message saying that the device is not supported by the Ipod. (Comment this)

4 - I must say the mic you have designed is quite beautiful. It matches the touch's sleek sexy appeal like no other product out there. (Comment this)
