I've been toying with interviewing some teachers who are trying some cool stuff with technology and posting it on our school's site. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info and the link to Tim’s blog!

I would like to set up to a more sophisticated mic setup, but at this point haven't! On the windows side, I use a $7 labtech mic from Walmart. I do most of my podcasts from my Macbook tho.

Would you be willing to post about what your podcasting setup looks like? Thanks! Scott Wes -

I haven't tested this myself yet. For classroom recording use I think this is probably great. For field trip or edtech conference recording I am still preferring removable battery recorders. There is no support for an external mic with the Samsung. It has great pickup, however, and will work well hanging from a necklace. It doesn't come with one, so I'm hunting for a necklace with an eyelet small enough to fit in it. Chris: The battery life for the Samsung is rated at 2.5 hours. I haven’t tested this myself yet.

I have two questions about the Samsung you mention... 1. How long can it record with 1 GB? I mean in terms of hours of voice into mp3. 2. Does it have any support for an external mic? The samsung site is loading terribly so I can't check there. How well does it record hanging from a necklace (a la Vicki Davis)? Thanks! Chris Craft Wes,
