Apple's new iPod Touch already has a lot of features packed into its design, true to Apple's promises of a more versatile mobile device. However, one thing it lacks is a proper recording capability to step up its already hefty multimedia features.

Marian, an iPod Touch modder, is coming up with a mic pre-amp which should fit perfectly into the iTouch's dock connector. So far the device works as a DMD (Device Mounted Device) as indicated in the image above.

However, Marian is still trying to fit it into a much leaner design to actually insert the mic into the device. As it is, the sensitivity of the microphone could be compromised if it was installed inside the iTouch's dock. Marian's currently looking for ideas from people who can design a proper SMD (Surface Mounted Device) for the mod.

Everything is looking good though for this very useful mod. You can also take a look at a picture of the rig under development via the source link below.
