It probably won't surprise you but your iPod can be a very capable voice recorder. Raise your hand if you recall what a tape recorder was, a term you won't hear any more.
Save your class lecture, notes to yourself, meeting agendas or interviews - just about any task that would have required a small cassette recorder or digital voice recorder you can now do with an iPod and a voice recorder attachement. The audio recorders we have collected here work on the new iPod Video and iPod Nano all generations. We even have a solution for the older iPod.- Editors

Recording time is displayed on your iPod nano screen in real-time, and the built-in speaker allows you to listen to your recordings instantly—without earbuds. But if you want to connect them, MicroMemo also allows access to the headphone port. Managing recordings is easy too: your recordings are saved as files that import into iTunes at CD-quality. From there, you can edit the audio in programs like Garage Band, or import as a soundtrack to a home movie, slideshow or presentation. $59.95
