The good:

  • Can record in stereo for high quality audio or lower quality mono to save space
  • Takes good recordings, picking up the source sound well, while disregarding most background noise

The bad:

  • Drains from the iPod's battery
  • No way to charge the player while using the recorder
  • No built-in speaker for monitoring recordings
  • Only compatible with newer iPods

The bottomline:

Griffin's new microphone accessory for the iPod and Nano does a decent job of recording voices but has a couple of drawbacks that could make potential buyers move onto the competition.
