Record to your iPod - Yes with your own Mic - Griffin iTalk Pro

I own an original Griffin i-Mic external USB soundcard and I love it. It has been an important part of my computer bag through 3 different computers and has saved my ass on many occasions. Needless to say I have nothing but good things to say about Griffin. A while back I came across this really cool gadget called the iTalk Pro, but I am not an iPod owner and I just filed it away with the rest of the useless knowledge I keep in my skull. Then Greggie C bought a 160Gb iPod and was wondering outloud about the Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB with iPod Recording and wondering if it was a good purchase. Since we featured the Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB in the podcast sidebar recommendations not too long ago I told him I thought it was a great piece and asked him a few more questions. Turns out that the Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB was a bit of overkill for what he had in mind. Then that little voice in the back of my brain that reminds me that I have a file on the current topic stuffed deep in the recesses of my mind shouted out WHAT ABOUT THE GRIFFIN iTALK?
From the Griffin Technologies Web-site...
