2nd Generation iPod Touch Does Work With Microphone

Forum user pismodude2 was able to confirm that the 2nd generation iPod Touch will allow microphone input and work with existing microphone-enabled applications. He was able to use a 3rd party microphone headset to input audio into his new iPod Touch.

We had previously reported that Apple's new microphone headsets were listed to be compatible with the 2nd Generation iPod Touch, although we had initially expressed some skepticism as this feature was not listed in any other location.

Allowing users to conveniently add an external microphone to the iPod touch opens up the possibility of using the iPod Touch as a telephone over Wi-Fi connections (VOIP).

You can use any headset (needs to have four rungs of metal on the jack), and the only app that works right now is called SPECTRUM :D:):D AWESOME!


Edit: Videos: It works! -- Yes, it is a 2G iPod Touch -- With Music

Update: A free app called Palringo Instant Messenger supports recording and sending audio clips to your friends from the iPod Touch using the same headset/microphone I used in the video!

Just curious what you are using, specifically - iPT 1G, 2G, which mic, etc.

At the moment you might have just used your iPhone.
If it is a 2G iPT with one of the headphone/mics it IS news. No one could say if the mic actually worked. With the 2G and the headphone-mics it means it is only a matter of time before apps use the mic to record voices or perhaps voip.

So which headphone-mic set? Or was it just a mic of some sort.

You should post details if you are going to post something like this.

I HEAR NO SOUND!
FAKE!

Actually, I can't wait until they make iPT versions of Skype. This proves it's just a month away, or less, I hope. I would pay $3 a month for Skype so I can wander the house, and WiFi areas using it as a phone. And Apple would get my $79 for the new headphones.
