Listen and Learn With Belkin TuneTalk Stereo

Shamus McGillicuddy

If you don't have an iPod, you aren't cool enough to read this. But if you're among the masses of IT execs who live on iPod Planet, then you might find one of iPod's nifty new accoutrements helpful.

I went to Gartner's Data Center Conference in Las Vegas equipped with a new $69 Belkin TuneTalk Stereo for iPod with video and returned with nine hours' worth of high-quality voice recordings -- my own personal memos, formal presentations and interviews. And it didn't put a dent in my 60 gigabytes of memory. True, the recorder is a bit of a battery hog, but you can charge it on your laptop after a day's work or even while you're recording.
