I am always reporting on-the-go with my Kodak Playtouch. Why I choose the Playtouch over other handheld recording devices is I can plugin a handheld mic into the mini-jack port to give me directional sound, cutting out the background noise.
But it annoys me that I am also carrying around my iPhone- a device with the same video recording capabilities as the Playtouch, but no ability to plug in a professional microphone.

Well today, dear friends, that has changed with the discovery at Macworld 2011 of theiRig. The first handheld, quality condenser microphone for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad designed for all mobile sound needs.
What’s great is now I can also dolivestream video reportsvia my iPhone’s 3G/wifi capabilities from conferences and events. As more news is gathered from citizens, like what we are seeing happening inEgypt right now, devices like the iRig will help citizen reporting become more professional.
