iTouch Mic pre-amp
Marian, one of our favorite iPod touch hackers, has added a mic preamp to his iPod touch dock connector. Hack-a-day writes that he built the entire circuit to fit within a standard iPod dock connector. In addition, Marian sent along a picture of his rig while under development (check it out after the jump). It looks like the iPod touch-as-recording device is well under way towards getting this technology developed for general consumption!

Skype already has a web portal optimized for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Now it's all just a matter of streaming the input into mobile safari. Anyone know how well skype works on an iPhone?

FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! PLEASE don't call it an iTouch! Every time you call the iPod Touch an iTouch, god rapes a kitten!!! Think about that next time you want to call this device iTouch!
Seriously though...please...it's an iPod Touch. I get bad images when you say "iTouch".

iTouch is not only a common internet nickname for it, but also Apple's internal nickname for it.
Jesus, guys. Get over it. It's really not that big a deal.

Just a thought...What if I use a Computer-Headset with mic and plug it in to the Ipod Touch. Now imagine that the MSN function was installed on the Ipod Touch. Wouldnt it work to call folks using the call-function that MSN has built-in ?...If that would work than it would be cool if someone could create a program which would have the function to call friends.
Regards, Johnny.

Adding Bluetooth would be a better venture, IMO.

Oh get over it.... it is an iTouch and there is nothing wrong with that. I have the 16Gb version and it works very well. With only one exception the Wi-Fi found the internet and I was able to access my email literally on a round-the-world tour.
I got worse visions with the porr kitten than the name "iTouch" (iTouch, iTouch, iTouch..... hmmmm have not burst into flames YET)

Hi, I just bought an I Pod Touch and downloaded some movies for my kid. When I select the movie to play a pop-up says " This movie could not be played". Is there something else I need to set or do to make it play? Thanks.
