This will turn your iPhone into podcasting machine

For $80 this new mike from Tascam (iM2) can turn iPad, iPhone or an iPod Touch into a full-blown audio recorder and become a major podcasting machines. What I like is that it has a USB charger than allows you to tape and charge at the sometime, without worrying about running out of batteries. This is targeted at musicians but I think roving reporters could find it useful as well.
