I’m not one for technology. In fact, I think of myself as technologically challenged. That I even own an iPod, two for that matter, and know how to work them, is a miracle in and of itself. A friend of mine who writes for the school paper introduced me to the Blue Mic Mikey, a portable microphone that connects to her iPod that she uses for interviews.

I told her I wasn’t technologically inclined, but she assured me it was super easy to use. And she was right. Not only does Mikey record interviews, it can record voice notes, music, and my personal favorite, lectures.

The small, portable mic works on both my nano and my touch, and can record up to 4 hours continuously. It is extremely easy to use and there is no software installation required. The recordings are saved onto your iPod and you can upload them to your computer by simply connecting your iPod to your computer.

As someone who hates taking notes in class because my hand can never keep up with the lecture, the Mikey is a god-send. It records the entire lecture, then I upload it to my computer, and play it back when I feel like studying. It even works in the huge lecture halls, and sounds like my professor is standing right in front of me.

So if you’re looking for an easy way to record anything, from lectures to concerts, definitely pick up the Blue Mic Mikey.

This September, we’ll see the latest evolution in the Apple iPod line. It’s being rumored that the iPod Touch and Nano will both offer cameras in the upcoming versions. The entire week we’ll dedicate a post to the evolution of Apple products and while we wait for the iPod rumors to turn into reality, let’s take a look back at the iPod, and how it evolved into the sexiest and the best music player in the world.

Microsoft Zune HD has hit the net with a bunch of early reviews. Some of the prominent online tech sites have gotten a chance to play with the device and they’ve written a few things about the device. Most of the reviews are positive and think the Microsoft Zune HD has a chance to compete with Apple’s iPod Touch.

Peter Ha, from CrunchGear, says the Mirosoft Zune is a wonderful device but doesn’t do anything special when comparing it to Apple’s iPod Touch. He also points out that he didn’t get a chance to play with the latest firmware, so some of the features weren’t as sleek or intuitive.

Apple released a brand new iPod on Tuesday and while the rest of the nation was captivated by all the pretty colors and the new gizmo’s shake-to-shuffle feature, I was a little busy geeking out about the other announcement: iTunes 8.

Unlike previous incarnations, iTunes 8 is shaking up the application for the first time in years, this time with the introduction of a better visualizer, a new way to peruse your library and a handy little feature called Genius. (more…)

If cutting down the price of the new iPhone by $200 (after only two months on the market) wasn’t enough to put the tech collective in a frenzy, Apple has announced their new iPod – the iPod touch – along with updated models of the Nano and Classic.

The iPod touch sports a 3.5 inch widescreen display with a fully-functional interface not unlike the iPhone (Safari web browser, YouTube). But the biggest draw iPod touch has to offer is wireless downloading capabilities: purchase songs from Wi-Fi iTunes on the fly. (more…)
