iPill Microphone for iPod

I’m not sure if it’s a genius idea to make a microphone shaped like a pill or the stupidest idea ever.

In fact, it seems so much more convenient to simply use an iPod with a microphone to record interviews and conversations. Chances are that you already own an iPod (or two), so we think that you should check the iPill out.

Whereas ThumbTacks sounded like a slightly muffled, less sibilant version of Apple’s Earphones with Remote and Mic at the same general volume level, iPill is dramatically louder: it is set to a volume or gain level that makes near-proximity voice recordings much easier to hear without having to turn up the volume on headphones. While there’s a little sibilance, it’s not as pronounced as in Apple’s microphone, and the overall voice balance is more natural—like a less muffled version of ThumbTacks.

It's a $13 microphone that is said to be working better than Apple's.
