Trade in and Save $50 with HPVoice recording quietly comes to Touch 2G
Hooray! Voice memos finally work on the iPod Touch 2G.
(Credit: Donald Bell/CNET Networks)What a difference a month makes. In September, we couldn't find a single voice-recording app for the iPhone that would work with the headset input included on the second-generation iPod Touch. I took a look around the iTunes App Store today and found that seven of of the 13-plus iPhone voice-memo apps now list themselves as compatible with the second-generation iPod Touch. Here's the list, so far:
- SpeakEasy Voice Recorder from Zarboo Software
- QuickVoice Recorder from nFinity
- Recorder from Retronyms
- Note2Self from Web Information Solutions
- iRecorder from Simple Touch Software
- YouNote from Sophiacom
- iTalk Recorder by Griffin
If you find additional voice-memo apps for the iPod Touch 2G, please add them in this post's comments section.
On a side note, we're happy to report that you don't need to use an Apple-branded headset to enable the iPod Touch 2G's voice-memo capability (same goes for the new Nano and Classic). We used an Etymotic HF2 iPhone headset and recordings came out great.

Well, I've been completely unsuccessful at making it work and I have V2.2.
Either there's a trick I don't know or nobody is actually recording anything.
I have three different iPhone/iPod touch mics and none of them is recognized.
Anyone have any insight into what's going on?
