it sounds like the built-in mic would be mono, but the external mic jack may
be stereo.
I presume that the 8 GB ITouch comes with the voiceover too?
I gather the 32 and 64 GB models are the one that come with the camera.

What I would really like to know, and I can't find this anywhere, is how
the
recording facilities are on this little gem. It comes with a mic, and
there
is a lot of discussion about the video, but nothing specific about the
recording quality of the audio. Can you record in stereo with it, and in
what formats? I really want to get one of these things because the idea
of
using a touch screen with gestures has really awakened my curiosity.
Besides, I'm itching like a bad case of poison ivy to get another
expensive
gadget to add to my repertoire (grin) and am up for a big new challenge,
but
if the audio recording facilities stink or are only in mono, I'm not
really
sure I want one after all. Also, when my sister set her iPod up using my
PC, that stupid QuickTime that iTunes uses did totally nightmarish things
to
my computer, like not letting me download MP3s, etc. and I could never get
that worked out to my satisfaction despite doing lots of research on the
problem and trying many things. I'm hoping you won't have to hook it to
the
PC at all, as I don't want QuickTime on here.

Steve, oh yes, entering text via a screen image of text is possible ok,
and
it amazes me how adaptable some blind people will get to be in the flow of
things.
I think there's more than a bit of Apple ideology driving some people
here,
and I'm not saying that's all a bad thing, but I've heard it said that
even
some sighted ITouch and IPhone users wish there was a real keyboard you
could pull out and use for text entry.
I've yet to see a mature and even handed debate on touch and gesture
interfaces but I'm all too aware that you have to try it to have a
worthwhile apraisal of how usable it is.
I keep an eye on things Mac though as on the audio sie, which is much of
what I these days, the Mac is important. so, hoping for some informative
posts or links to articles on editing on the Mac.

Steve, it sounds like an interesting device, especially if it changes

it would be kind of difficult!
Talk to blind iPhone users. They seem to love it. Of course you're
right,
it's not nearly as efficient as with a keyboard or even a texting-style
keypad, but it *can* be done.
