iTouch Mic-In Makes The Difference
A quick note to developers-
Thanks to the firmware 2.2 upgrade the second geneeation iPod Touch has audio-in so long as a microphone is plugged in. That means a few things.
It means that WebIS’s excellent Note2Self voice note recorder now works fully on the Touch.
It means that if I can ever get Fring and Nimbuzz working properly with SkypeOut the Touch will become a nifty little VOIP handset.
It means that apps that can’t even be loaded onto the Touch due to it’s lack of a mic (yes Jott I’m talking to you) and apps that load but in a limited format that excludes voice note (hello ReQall) need to rework their apps and issue updates.
Firmware 2.2 and it’s mic line-in is a potentially huge going for users of the iPod Touch and I hope developers recognize the fact sooner rather than later.
