Okay, I went down to The Source by Circuit City this afternoon. And saw this mic on the shelf. I had my 3200 with me so, I tried it with the Voice Recorder software in Cacko. It works! The specs are quite close to the Conics one but this one is only $19.99CAN. That's a great price to add another useful feature to your Zaurus.

Mono is good though, because the Zaurus only records in mono anyway, doesn't it?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Late Well, here is one made by Olympus, but you may very well be right about it just creating two channels. If it it didn't, the left and right are so close together that I doubt there would be much of a panning effect...not toomention the steep $49 price tag.  Olympus ME-51S |
