Belkin debuts TuneTalk Stereo

Belkin today announced that it will offer TuneTalk Stereo -- a device that allows users to easily record podcasts, lectures, and interviews onto an iPod video with CD-quality sound -- in North America in mid-June. The company also said it has launches planned in Asia, Europe, and Australia to follow shortly afterward. The TuneTalk features built-in headphones, an auxiliary 3.5mm stereo-input jack for recording with an external microphone, and a stand the size of a credit card to position a video iPod toward the source. TuneTalk is available in both black and white for $70, and features an adjustable gain switch that provides instant control over recording quality in different environments. The accessory also includes a plastic spacer that offers additional stability when the iPod is not in a case.
