Hold that thought with Xtreme Mac’s new MicroMemo. Turn your iPod nano 2nd generation or iPod video into a recording studio. No tapes, no batteries, no cables. MicroMemo plugs into your iPod to record interviews, meetings, lectures, or any audio content directly to your iPod nano. Capture audio using the flexible, detachable mic—or another type of microphone with a 3.5mm-plug, like XtremeMac's MemoMic lapel microphone or a stereo or condenser mic.

MicroMemo also records directly from a computer or soundboard via line-in capabilities. It records 16-bit audio at 44 kHz and 8-bit at 22 kHz and displays the time on your iPod screen in real-time. The built-in speaker allows you to listen to your recordings instantly— but can also be used with earbuds. The MicroMemo is available for $59.95 www.xtrememac.com
