Query: italk voice recorder

The italk recorder works best within 12". The microphone isn't very sensitive. The recorder actually begins recording, 2 seconds after the red light comes on. Forget about what the manufacturer claims about using the italk as a speaker for audiobooks, you would have to hold the ipod up to your ear to use it. The recorder is just a recorder, and is only a fair recorder.
