Several blogs – Music Thing and Makezine – are pointing to a tech spec on the new Apple video ipod webpage that says this:
Voice recording settings:
* Low (22.05 KHz, mono)
* High (44.1 KHz, stereo)
Is this a new audio recording feature? Via the 1/4″ jack input/output “stereo minijack, composite video and audio through minijack”? Can you connect your own external mic? Or are these recording settings for an external device you connect? When someone gets one of these new ipods , try recording some audio and let us know.

That link above is to a article at the iPod Lounge web site titled, “Why podcasters (and bootleggers?) will love the new iPod” I hope the new ipod really does record high quality audio. – Brian
